Description:
KNetworkManager does not include VPNC interface by default.


Additional info:
If possible, can KNetworkManager be compiled with the '--with-vpnc' and '--with-pptp' flags? I just finished installing the networkmanager-vpnc package from AUR to connect to my university's VPN servers, and was prompted with the following error message each time I tried to set up my profile:

There is no configuration interface for the VPN service vpnc installed. Please check your installation.

After searching the internet for the error, I came across an Ubuntu bug report which mentioned recompiling with the previously stated flags to fix the problem, which worked! It's nice when an issue's that easy to resolve.


* package version(s) - 0.2.2-2
* config and/or log files etc. - NA


Steps to reproduce:
1) Install networkmanager-vpnc to provide Cisco VPN support for NetworkManager.
2) Right-click KNetworkManager's systray icon, hover over "Options", and click "Configure..."
3) Select the "VPN Connections" tab and click the "Add" button on the top-right.
4) The error appears on the following dialog.
