PGP for Linux 1.2.8
Can anyone tell me where a version of PGP 2.62 can be found for Linux? I got one off of ftp.berkeley.edu (pgp262s.zip) and it (or I can not get it) to compile on my system.. Thanks...
Hi. PGP 2.6.2 compiles out-of-the-box on Linux. In fact, Linux is my personal development platform at home, so I make sure that it works. Just "make" in rsaref/install/unix, and then "make linux" in src. If you are in the US or Canada, you can get PGP 2.6.2 from MIT. Here are the instructions: The file ftp://net-dist.mit.edu/pub/PGP/README contains instructions on how to download PGP 2.6.2. Included therein are Binaries for DOS and Mac, and the sources for DOS, Unix and Mac. To read these files you should log in with username anonymous and use your email address as the password. Alternatively, you can use the WWW interface to get to these packages. Just connect to the PGP-form web page and follow the instructions: http://bs.mit.edu:8001/pgp-form.html -derek

Heh. It's not QUITE so simple. :) If you're running an ELF system, you have to pretend it's a sys v system (or, alternatively, remove all the leading underscores in the .globl names in the assembly language (*.S) files. Also, you should upgrade to the latest 1.2.x version of linux, as there was a fairly large memory leak until 1.2.11 or 1.2.12 or so...

It compiled on mine just fine. Be sure you have an up to date bintools and gcc. 1. Make sure you are using 2.5.2/2.6.3. Thats how I compiled mine. 2. Unzip the source in /usr/src/pgp (or whereever) 3. cd /usr/src/pgp/rsaref/install/unix 4. make 5. cd /usr/src/pgp/src 6. make linux And you should have a pgp binary. 7. cp /usr/src/pgp/src/pgp /usr/local/bin/pgp Though they might differ, the MD5 hash of my Linux version is f7dd657c0c5ed8a5cb7c5dfcf5af6c5b.
