Hi Steve,

I'm not aware of any pre-compiled packages for Ubuntu besides the 2.1.0 
release. There is a 2.1.4 version for the Debian squeeze release which 
is maintained by Philipp Matthias Hahn ...

Ubuntu is the upstream distribution for Ubuntu so hopefully it will get 
updated to 2.1.5 and the package will trickle down hill.

If you search the vpn-help mailing list, there are a few posts that 
contain details regarding source compilation on Ubuntu.

You should also have a look at the README.TXT that accompanies the 
source distribution. If you have specific questions, feel free to 
forward them to the list.
