Hi Jay!
If you wish, you'll can download a *precompiled* package of GnuPG for Tru64 Unix.

> I've attempted to build gnupg v1.0.7 on several Compaq Tru64 v5.1 boxes and run into some problems. Specifically, I keep getting the message "gpg: out of memory while allocating 0 bytes" during the 'make check' phase of the build. Since Tru64 doesn't have /dev/random or /dev/urandom I have installed and tried both egc and prng and get the same results with both. Here's the commands I use to build gnupg:

The make and cc used to build were the standard utilities shipped with Tru64. Anybody have any thoughts?
