Hi,
i have Fedora Core 5 here, but i use the vpnclient since Fedora core 1.
Here, it compiles well:

By installing this product you agree that you have read the
license.txt file (The VPN Client license) and will comply with
its terms.

Directory where binaries will be installed [/usr/local/bin]

Automatically start the VPN service at boot time [yes]

In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the
kernel headers for the version of the kernel you are running.

Directory containing linux kernel source code
[/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/build]

* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".
* Modules will be installed in
"/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/CiscoVPN".
* The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.
* Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/build" will be
used to build the module.

Is the above correct [y]

So, have you installed all the devel packages needed?

By the way, interesting signature ;-)
