When running GnuPG 1.0.1 command "gpg --gen-key" I receive the
following errors (and no key generation): 
 
options:1: invalid option
options:2: invalid option
options:3: invalid option   
 
What can possibly be wrong?  I cannot use GnuPG as it is set up. 
I am running Caldera's eDesktop 2.4 on a Pentium III, 200 MHz
machine.

I have been told this may be a broken options file, but the
information supplied and the file look okay.  I've never used
this system before (although I've used PGP for years) and I can't
tell what's wrong.  Where I looked was in <home>/.gnupg/options. 
Any help for this?  This is the second time I've installed this
system and I still get the same messages.
