You'll need to download all 4 files in berteh's post The installer from Checkpoint won't work outright you need to install a few old dependencies, to allow the Checkpoint client to install correctly. Can now simply type snx and I'm VPNed in to work and maven can contact our repository and the world keeps turning yea! Thanks again, was reading a lot on this last night and was feeling it might have been hopeless.įor the last poster here, looking for an installer, that's what berteh has explained up above.

Linux decebal 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05: x86_64 GNU/LinuxĬould you please help me with some advice?Īlso worked for me on 9.10 thanks berteh, very clear instructions and worked like a charm. su: /usr/bin/snx: No such file or directoryįinally, the uname -a command if this helps: So, while the message 'Installation successfull' is present I tried to run snx command and this is the output: When intalling Check_Point_SNX_R66_HFA_01_For_Linux_800004013.sh I got the following error:ĮRROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libstdc++.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. The libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package is available only for 32bit so I got all the old packages for i386 arch, installed them forcing the architecture:ĭpkg -i -force-architecture gcc-3.3-base_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_b libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_b libstdc++5_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_bĮxport LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.3 I attach the 3 mentionned debs for later references, but preferably get them from the above links as they are mirrored! This will enable to run the vpn by simply calling To ease next connection store your session info in ~/.snxrc The message of install should be successful: congratulations! The second line enforces the use of your (old) library.

I got them from the Hardy and Dapper repositories (direct links on libs names).ĭownload all 3 debs in the same directory and, open a console in this directory and runĢ- install the package (#./snx_install.sh) I actually needed to install manually libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (), libstdc++5 () and gcc-3.3-base ().

direct link ()ģ- you need a special library to get the snx client working : libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2. please read on and comment.ġ- get the SNX archive on checkpoint, go checkpoint website download section and get “SNX R66 HFA 01 For Linux 800004013 “Ĭorrect. Yes, I got it running (mostly fine) under Kubuntu 9.04, so I guess it might work for you too. Anyone have any advice on trying to connect to a Checkpoint VPN with Ubuntu 9.04
