I am not seeing all the error message. Check /var/log/secure or /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/auth.log

You can probably obtain some errors again by running:

ipsec auto --add cressem
ipsec auto --up cressem

openswan-2.2.0 will not work with 2.4.31.

A new developer release (2.4.2dr1)  was released today that fixes some issues, one being
compilation on 2.4.31.
