I like anonymity as much as the next guy, but if you're asking for help it's not really appropriate -- lots of disinterested people are going to read this, when they really shouldn't have to. The place to ask about pgp is alt.security.pgp. If you post there, try to say what happened when you attempted to compile the program. Before you post anywhere, try grabbing the .tar.gz version instead of the .zip version -- there are some case sensitive file names that munge on linux in the .zip version. The other ought to compile out of the box.
Hi. There is a known problem in the PGP 2.6.2 distribution. In order to compile it for Linux/ELF, you will need to make a change to the sources. The quick change is to add "ASMDEF=-DSYSV" to the Linux make rule in the makefile. However this will not allow it to compile under Linux/a.out anymore. The proper fix, which is detailed on the PGP FAQ, Buglist, Fixes, and Improvements Page is to modify 80386.S and zmatch.S to look for the symbol __ELF__ in addition to SYSV. This page, by the way, is available at this URL: http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/warlord/pgp-faq.html Enjoy! -derek
