  Well, you invoked "oldgo", which is for full kernel builds. You seem to have configured FreeSWAN as a module, so you need to install your modules, using the standard kernel mechanisms.

Do you need help?

  Probably, this is a documentation issue.

  If you had invoked "oldmod", (or just "make module"), then you would have built the module locally, against a potentially RO kernel, and "minstall" would work.
