This would explain the observed behavior. Then the EOPNOTSUPP is correct
and makes sense. Although it is not obvious to an uneducated user like
me, what the underlying reason is. I wonder whether strongSwan and/or
one of the plugins can check that at installation time, provide a more
descriptive error message than "allocating SPI failed" or provide a
description of what can cause such an error. But maybe the Knoppix
32-/64-bit setup is - more or less - unusual and the strongSwan people
didn't considered running in such an environment.
