gpg errors

[Ryan Malayter]

Looks to me like a permissions problem on the directory where your keyrings
and random seed files are stored.

Subject: gpg errors


I was able to get the 1.0.4 binaries downloaded and installed on my AIX 
4.3.3 maching.  Tried creating a key this morning - got up to the user 
entry, and I got this error message :

You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.

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.

gpg: keyblock resource `//.gnupg': file open error
gpg: can add keyblock file `//.gnupg/pubring.gpg'
Key generation failed: file create error
gpg: can't create `//.gnupg/random_seed': A file or directory in the path 
name does not exist.

Anyone have any ideas???  I am stumped.
