GNUPG 1.92 on solaris 2.6

Hi listers,

I post to this ML first time.

The problem is remaining job 'gpg --gen-key' on solaris 2.6, after
key generation.

I tried to compile GNUPG on solaris 2.6 with gcc 2.8.1.
I run configure and make and got reference error of gethostbyname(),
so that I added -lxnet to LDADD variable in g10/Makefile. Then
the compilation finished.

After that, I tried to generate a key pair by 'gpg --gen-key' and it
was successfully created and gpg seemed to have exited. After that the
load of machine started increase, from 0.0 to 3.94(at max).
I exmined jobs in tge system and found gpg process was running (like a
daemon). The load came down after I killed the job.

Is it possible?
If so, is it hard to fix?

Regards.

I have already fixed this in the CVS:

in cipher/rndunix.c function start_gatherer():

look for errno == EINTR and add a

if( errno == EPIPE )
exit(0);

Dear,
Thanks for your response.

I added it in the location.
But gpg --gen-key produces
gpg: waiting for lock (hold by 8492 - probably dead ...

I might have to do another changes.
I can't use cvs (behind firewall) so I will wait some fixed version or
major releases.

Thanks a lot.
