Re: debian-user-digest Digest V97 #262



>From where did you obtain this source code?  If you got it from MIT ...
well, all I can say about that is the last time I tried it, the Linux
target in the Makefile was hosed.  I ftp-ed 2.6.3i from Norway or
Finland (I forget :) and used the -DUSA switch in the Makefile.  Since I
had RSAREF from MIT already, it didn't take long to come of with a
working PGP.  Kudos to Stale Schumacher an d a host of others who made
this possible.

The big question, though, is why compile it at all?  Since there are
Debian packages of PGP available on the non-US sites, I don't see an
advantage to building it yourself (unless you're *extremely paranoid ...
in which case, why are you using a Linux distribution at all?  You
should be compiling everything by hand to make sure somebody isn't
trying to screw you over.)

Your errors look similar to the ones I experienced with the MIT package
... seemed to be related to the assembly language routines.

Cheers,
