gpg 1.2.6 fails to create ~/.gnupg on Solaris

[Alexander Nouak]

Hi,

this is IMHO a serious bug I reported weeks ago but never got 
confirmation from the developers whether They see this as a bug and 
whether or not they are working on a fix.

Meanwhile you need to create the ~/.gnupg directory yourself. Then 
change to the directory of the source and copy g10/options.skel to 
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
You might want to delete the first three lines of the gpg.conf, so open 
the file in a text editor and remove them.

Now you're done. At the next start of gpg the necessary keyfiles should 
be created.
