Hi Luis,

Thank-you for your quick and helpful response.

After I wrote to the list I experimented by compiling
libpthread and installing  into  a safe place in my home
directory.  I put pth-config temporarily into /bin and I
was able to compile gnupg-2.0.  I have not installed it yet
though.  I will do that later this evening.

I thought that it would probably be safe to run gnupg-2.0.1
against that "safe" libpthread, but it is obviously better
and simpler if I can install it system-wide as you seem to
have done.

Thank-you very much for that.  As I have said, I have built
everything now anyway, and so I probably won't need the
builds you have helpfully contributed, but if my own builds
don't work, I will certainly try them.

I will let you know how I get on.

Regards,

Geoff
