gnupg 1.2.2 on aix 5.1 on P660s and P690s

Mon Oct 13 11:43:36 CEST 2003

AIX 5.1 on P660 and P690 systems are still hanging.  Anyone else reporting 
this issue or is there any sort of work around?  We want to be able to use 
gnupg but this issue has become a huge road block.

Here are the requested greps out of config.h:
/* #undef HAVE_GETHRTIME */
/* #undef HAVE_BROKEN_GETHRTIME */
#define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY 1
#define HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME 1
#define HAVE_TIMES 1

Here is the outputed /tmp/foo:

That is are several fast random polls. However I expected to see a few
other system calls.  Can you please grep through config.h and tell us
how

 HAVE_GETHRTIME
 HAVE_BROKEN_GETHRTIME
 HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
 HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME
 HAVE_TIMES

are defined.  This is definitely not the hanging problem, though.

You can also try to run this:

GNUPG_RNDUNIX_DBG=/tmp/foo GNUPG_RNDUNIX_DBGALL=1 \
  ./gpg -a --gen-random 2 10

/tmp/foo will be filled with info regarding the tools execed by the
rndunix entropy gatherer.

Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
