Why?

If you followed the described procedure, then you'd be building in
openswan-2/linux/net/ipsec, from which the Makefile (depending on which you're
using, I assume you followed the discussion on this list and picked the right
one for you...and modified where appropriate!) builds a set of include
directories (the -I directives). From your compile output it seems that your
paths are way off base. Instead of trying to fix the mess you're in now, I
suggest you start from scratch, using the very latest procedure Nate devised.
Follow it to the letter, and things *should* go right. If you're unsure about
the HEAD stuff, just checkout "openswan-2" using the guidelines on
http://www.openswan.org/development/cvs.php:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.openswan.org:/public/cvs login (use "anoncvs" as
password)
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.openswan.org:/public/cvs co openswan-2

After a while you'll have an "openswan-2" directory from which you can modify
with the various patches and file copies. The Makefile to use in
openswan-2/linux/net/ipsec might depend on your build environment, I think the
one which Nate described assumes you're building on a 2.6 host, and will use the
kernel source directory which /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build points to...if that
doesn't exist (maybe you installed your kernel from a package, want to use a
different kernel, etc), you will *have* to modify the makefile to reflect that
situation. I.e. change the proper variable ($TOPDIR) to point to the proper
path.

I can't explain it any more clearer than this. Please note you're messing with
stuff which is in development now, so YMMV. Bugreports and suggestions to make
things better are welcome :P
