An organized way to dit is to use GNU stow. You configure & compile gpg as usual, then (assuming you have stow installed and old gnupg-X.Y was also stow'ed) do make prefix=/usr/local/stow/gnupg-X.Z install and cd /usr/local/stow && stow -D gnupg-X.Y && stow gnupg-X.Z all is seamlessly switched in /usr/local bin and lib alex _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
