First, I can't recreate this (on Gutsy Gibbon/x86_64). Probably because I have libbz2-dev installed; see below. Second, Ubuntu ships with 1.4.6. It's a little bit old, but serviceable, and Ubuntu is tracking upstream security bugfixes. If your correspondent is just interested in security fixes, tell him/her to use the Ubuntu-supplied GnuPG. Third, most Linux distros (including Ubuntu) separate files into two different groups: the files you need to run programs that need a certain feature, and the files you need to compile programs that need a certain feature. With bz2 the package "libbz2-1.0" contains what you need to run programs that use bz2; the package "libbz2-dev" contains what you need to compile programs that use bz2. I would suggest the following course of action: 1. sudo apt-get update 2. sudo apt-get upgrade 3. sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev Then try to recompile GnuPG 1.4.8 and see if that fixes the problem. (Normally I don't sign my mailing group posts here. Given that I'm giving sudo commands, though, I think this time it's probably appropriate.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iFYEAREIAAYFAkd0hewACgkQf2XByo0Cu7N9wwDcDUp7lAtlLAlBHZ9cDkh6Nlz6 LlOMx1CVaC05jADcCZuiNazcLzR9k3Z/KxDgtcJE5nzkbFQFm6qRcokBHAQBAQgA BgUCR3SF7AAKCRC3APSC/q+BCa2HCACalHSEupBzXSgkdhHHQp80sI1oK+zR2QvU rY16+6+tF2PKOjRTzbjQP2u5vdJKEGYkK8D2wCE/fioSquBLwnqqvrXCyj846MqU vUl/+/hAvgLzDDs+LC0hMOuKG9D9G8EOnKH9vfBOCmI2e3oRAoWvNq3105hGs5Ni 04Hqyqnmxh3YfWlcb5kxcaYQLHVZFEGfvbCoRvo0h1Asmb7R65ZdfKZLj7flwJG7 INZ5rep1V6R7o4Ahz3QT76jn71RkXXNQeR6e7wx2+7OHKU7f4L71PKHfpYm40Su6 j11TJVPMhtalRErsF1dvq9C3CXqp38aMnnSnjZAt2722IMrcDpt/ =HYkg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
