You are funny... Obviously it is impossible to "generate" the secret key for a 
given public key. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to call it a "secret" key 
if anyone with access to the public part could easily create it.

Somebody has had access to the secret key once. If you know who that is and he 
still has the key then you can ask him to export it for you. It that's not 
possible and no export file of the secret key happens to appear then you don't 
have any chance to decrypt messages which have been encrypted for this key 
only.
