I don't think that you _have_ to build it as a module (my KLIPS/freeswan
box has KLIPS compiled staticly), I was just pointing out that since you
hadnt built it as a module or were using native ipsec, it would make
perfect sense that the script isnt finding the module.

My ipsec gateway which is running perfectly using native ipsec gives me
the same error, it looks like.

jekyl:/home/david# ipsec setup status
IPsec running
but...
KLIPS module is not loaded!
/usr/lib/ipsec/_realsetup: line 384: test: : integer expression expected

my guess is that you are not using KLIPS but are using native IPsec
instead. If you did not explicitly apply a patch to your kernel before
compiling it, you are probably _not_ using KLIPS. perhaps that script
only works with KLIPS.
