I got around to do this and confirm that shrew 2.1.7 packages (ike,
ike-qtgui) does not work on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install, while the
older shrew 2.1.5 packages from 11.04 does work.  In order to get it
running, first install the libssl0.9.8 package in Oneiric,[0] then the
Natty packages for ike[1] and ike-qtgui.[2] You may have to install
the Qt packages (libqt3-mt) if it is not installed yet (Kubuntu users
here need not do this.)
