Cisco Any Connect will not launch

I need to use Cisco Any Connect for work.  I downloaded the linux version from the cisco site and installed however the app will not launch. When I try to run the app via the cli this is what I get,

[arch-linux ~]$ /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui 
/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

has anyone ran into this before?

Re: Cisco Any Connect will not launch

Hi
I have the same problem.

Found this bug a cisco:
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCus37516

Workaround:
We wrote an appropriate systemd unit file and plonked it in /etc/systemd/vpnagentd.service .

Eg:
[Unit]
Description=Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Agent
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnagentd -d

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Haven't tried it though

Re: Cisco Any Connect will not launch

Did you try to install pangox-compat ? It provides libpangox-1.0.so.0.

Edit: The thread is half a year old...
