Hi, I managed to compile gnupg under Hurd. Well, it was quite easy... :) Just one problem: gnupg wants to disable core dumping and uses getrlimit and setrlimit for this. Unfortunately setrlimit is not implemented in glibc0.2. One possible way is to disable this function temporarily by a "#ifndef" condition until the function is implemented. The other way is to implement it, but I guess this is rather huge task and I don't know how. BTW gnupg think Hurd is not secure enough: gauss:/usr/src/gnupg-1.0.1/g10# ./gpg gpg: WARNING: program may create a core file! gpg: Please note that you don't have secure memory on this system gpg: Go ahead and type your message ... Standard. GPG doesnt' like cores because some one can run gdb on them. The memory warning is to let you know that some one could go, say: $ dd if=/dev/<swap_partition> of=~/swapdump and *maybe* get a look at your program state. Might not be an issue with Hurd. I don't know enough about Hurd swapping to say, I can do it over Linux though. Gotta be root, of course. pjr
