GPG does not build on SuSE SLES 11

[Florian Schwind]

Hi all,

I was not able to run the "make ckeck" for GPG 1.4.10 on a SLES 11 
(i386) successfully (I also tried 1.4.11). Since I'm not sure if there 
is some configuration issue with my server, I'm sending this to the 
bug-address and the user-list as well.

Maybe someone experienced similar problems with GPG on a SLES 11 and 
might help me to figure out what's wrong? (On my SuSE 11.3 x86 it 
compiles without problems)

If I try to encrypt with the build gpg I get following errors:

florian at davinci:~/gnupg/davinci> gnupg-1.4.11-bin/bin/gpg --encrypt -r 
test plaintext.txt
Rijndael-128 test encryption failed.

This is the result of "make check":
