I have 2 systems and in both case I'm getting stuck generating key pairs.  
I have exhausted my possibilities on www.gnupg.org as well as other gnupg
pages.  I've also emailed the FreeBSD gnupg ports maintainer and asked
this same question.  The two accounts I have are dstenn@fanfic.org and
dtenn@uu.net.  I really hope you can help.

I have successfully compiled and installed gnupg 1.0.1 but when I run

 gpg --gen-key

and answer all the questions I get stuck.  Here is the out put so far..

You need a User-ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user
id
from Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
