i'm having a problem running gpg-1.0.4 as root on solaris 2.6:

  ld.so.1: ./gpg: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
  Killed

if gpg is not suid root, then this only happens if root tries to run gpg.
if gpg is suid root, it happens for anyone who tries to run gpg.
this is just with the command "gpg --help"
the tests all passed (run as non-root user, using egd).
