Installation problems...

First, I have to thank Max and Albert for their suggestions.  I'm making
progress.

I was able to run the configure by executing the following command:

CC=path CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure

where the path value is the location of your compiler (in my case, the gcc
compiler).  When I ran this (again, on HPUX-11i) it ended without any fatal
errors.  I then went and ran 'make' but came across the syntax error shown
below:

Making all in keyserver
Making all in po
Making all in doc
Make: line 180: syntax error.  Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

When I checked in the /doc subdirectory at the Makefile and Makefile.in
objects at that particular line (180), I found:

: gpg.texi
gpg.dvi: gpg.texi

gpgv.info: gpgv.texi
gpgv.dvi: gpgv.texi

I changed the first line to be commented (#) though I'm not sure that is
correct.  Should it be the following?:

gpg.info: gpg.texi

I checked the bugs webpage but did not see any reports of this syntax error.
I then ran 'make' again but came up with the following error:

Making all in checks
No suffix list.
        echo '#!/bin/sh' >./gpg_dearmor
        echo "../g10/gpg --no-options --no-greeting \
                     --no-secmem-warning --batch --dearmor" >>./gpg_dearmor
        chmod 755 ./gpg_dearmor
        ./gpg_dearmor > ./pubring.gpg < ./pubring.asc
        ./gpg_dearmor > ./secring.gpg < ./secring.asc
        ./gpg_dearmor > ./plain-1 < ./plain-1o.asc

        cat ./../doc/HACKING \

        ../g10/gpg --homedir . --quiet --yes --import ./pubdemo.asc      
gpg: ../cipher/tiger: not a gnupg extension: Unable to find library
'/usr/lib/nl
s/loc/pa20_64/locales.2/C'.

Does anyone know if these are related?  Or absolutely unrelated?  I did
check on the library and it does NOT exist.  The only related objects in the
/usr/lib/nls/loc/pa20_64/locales.2/ directory that I see are C.iso88591,
C.iso885915 and C.utf8 which are all executables.

Any clues as to what the problem may be (besides the person doing the
install which is me!?!?!)?  Any info again would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

I need to add some options to the configure?  Has anyone installed GnuPG on
HPUX-11i before?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  The log is below.

I have never installed GnuPG under HP-UX, but these error messages seem 
very familliar to me. I saw something like that when I tried to compile 
some portions of GNU software. I think you could try something like
    CC=gcc CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure [...]
in your Bourn-style shell. Also make shure that gcc precedes cc in your 
PATH.

Usually autoconf saves us a lot of time. But it is really brain-damaged 
in some aspects, so a `bad' situation may cause it to become a problem 
itself.

I hope this can help you. Best regards,
