Cisco VPN Client + Ubuntu 6.06.1 = high blood pressure

Thank you for your help.  I installed the
build-essential package then ran through the Cisco VPN
client install again.  Now it looks like I'm getting
somewhere.

However, the installation process showed some warnings
which I am hoping someone can explain.

Here are the installation results:

---start---

sudo ./vpn_install

Is the above correct [y]

Should I be concerned with anything that occurred
during the installation process?

Thank you for your time,
