compiling problems gpg 1.0.7

[Leigh S. Jones]

I've got a couple of comments; it doesn't look to me as if the
responses on the list have gotten to the heart of the matter.
Bear with me, I could be wrong in my interpretation of the
results...

First, most of the problems I see in the output from the
install script seem to be related to the absence of certain
entropy devices -- a.k.a. random number generators.
The tiger issue is a minor one, just a little used hash algo.
I think I'd interpret this as an install failure caused by the
failure of the tiger install portion of the script, though.

You'll probably find a completed, compiled gpg program
sitting in the "g10" directory.  If gpg manages to
connect to some usable random number generator then
you could probably begin to use it simply by moving the
g10/gpg file to the right directory.  If it can't find any
random number generator then you'll probably want
to fix the build.

I'd suggest going back first and attempting the ./configure
with a few command line options to correct the problem,
except for one thing.

There are pre-compiled implementations of gpg 1.0.7 out
there on the internet somewhere -- all set for Solaris 8,
for Sparc, Ultra Sparc, ix86, etc.  Complete with
real good entropy.  It might be more satisfying to get them.
I found them using google.com.  I bet you could, too.

And, some of the guys who compiled/built these
implementations described on their web sites what the
options for "./configure" were that they used.
Maybe some of those guys are on this list...
