According to this post:

------
the header file config.h
was removed sometime after the 2.6.35-28 kernel (this version worked for me to compile the rr2323x driver.

The other changes are needed to support the changed structures in the linux 2.6.38 kernel
------

This looks like it might be the same problem.

Hi Andrei,

You can find a more recent version of OpenSwan (2.6.31) in this PPA https://launchpad.net/~openswan/+archive/openswan-testing

I don't know if this version will work as I only tested OpenSwan on Ubuntu Lucid but maybe you could give it a try.

it doesn't work either with another compilation error:

Andreas, I am not a Ubuntu programmer, just a user. I used your upgrade to update my Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.4. Kernel 2.6.38-8 (generic and pae) never worked--cant boot--so I was using Kernel 2.6.35-28 to boot. The new update to Kernel 2.6.38-10 (generic and pae) also does NOT boot. This is getting annoying, as these are your upgrades, not something I am doing on my own. Can you at least produce a pae version of Kernel 2.6.35-28, so that I can use my 4 Gb of RAM? It is the only Kernel I can boot to.

Thank you,
Sirman

Andreas, the updated kernels 2.6.38-8 (generic and pae), AND 2.6.38-10 (generic and pae) will NOT BOOT. The following modules FAIL to install in all instances.

 * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic => (SAME for the pae and kernel 2.6.38-10)
 * backfire (0.71-1)... [ OK ]
 * openswan (2.6.28+dfsg)... [fail]
 * sl-modem (2.9.11~20100718)... [ OK ]
 * oss4 (4.2-build2003)... [ OK ]
 * iscsitarget (1.4.20.2)... [fail]
 * blcr (0.8.2)... [fail]
 * openvswitch (1.1.0~pre2.g2.ea763e0e)... [ OK ]
 * openafs (1.4.14)... [ OK ]
 * open-vm-tools (2011.03.28)... [ OK ]
 * batmand-gateway (0.3.2)... [fail]
 * tp-smapi (0.40)... [ OK ]
 * batman-adv (2010.0.0)... [fail]
 * xtables-addons (1.32)... [ OK ]
 * dahdi (2.3.0.1+dfsg-2ubuntu2)... [fail]
