Hello all ,

This is a complement to our previous mails regarding gpa on Ubuntu.
(and the necessity to replace the buggy gpa version 0.7.0 by a version
>= 0.7.5)
Our previous mails were related to Ubuntu 7.10 (last version today)
This very note is related to Ubuntu 7.04 (previous version)
(some users are forced to stay with 7.04 as their hardware may not be
supported by 7.10)

Regarding Ubuntu 7.04 (the previous version of Ubuntu), the
installation of gpa 0.7.6
is a little bit more complicate than on Ubuntu 7.10
The reason is that gpa 0.7.6 (as well as gpa 0.7.5) relies on version
1.1.5 of gpgme,
while only the version 1.1.2 of gpgme is provided with Ubuntu 7.04.
(Ubuntu 7.10 already comes with version 1.1.5)
So you first need to install a recent version of gpgme.
Furthermore, to install gpgme 1.1.5 , you need to previously install
gpgsm.
Finally, here are the steps needed to install gpa 0.7.6 on Ubuntu 7.04

Download gpa-0.7.6.tar.bz2 from http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpa/
Unpack in a directory gpa-0.7.6 (supposed to be on your Desktop in our
example)
Download gpgme-1.1.5.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/
Unpack in a directory gpgme-1.1.5

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gpa
$ sudo apt-get install gpgsm
$ cd Desktop/gpgme-1.1.5
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ../gpa-0.7.6
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install

The gpa entry will appear in your main menu (under "accessories"); the
program is at /usr/bin/gpa

Remark

The 2 first apt-get entries can eventually be replaced by the explicit :
$ sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libgtk2.0-dev
libgpgme11-dev gnupg gpgsm
but, in this case, be carefull for typo's...

Hope this helps.
