I downloaded GPG gnupg-1.0.6.tar.gz from www.gnupg.org and then uploaded =
it to my hosted account, on a sun 5.7 OS. I used gunzip and tar to =
extract the relevant files to /home/username/myGPG. Following the =
instructions in the 'PHP and MySQL Web Development' book, I executed the =
following commands.
> ./configure (worked fine)
=20
> make ( gave the error =3D> uranus:/myGPG > make
=
make: Fatal error: No arguments to build
so I tried : > make *
=20
> make install
Everything seemed to work fine. The book then stated that if I am not =
the root user that I would need to run the configure script with the =
--prefix option
> ./configure --prefix=3D/path/to/home/dir =3D (/home/username/)
this is because I will not have access to the default directory for GPG =
(/usr/local/bin/gpg)
This seemed to work away fine but the book stated that if all had gone =
well that GPG would be compiled and that the executable would be copied =
to /usr/local/bin/gpg or the directory specified =3D> /home/username.=20
However a new directory called 'gpg' doesn't seem to be have been =
created in /home/username and I tried :=20
> which gpg to see if it installed anywhere on the system.
I have contacted the hosting company but they said to contact the =
developer. Can someone please help me out???
Regards and thanks,
Trevor.
