when you're in the GnuPG source directory:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/your/directory

for example

./configure --prefix=$HOME

will configure GnuPG to be installed in the directories $HOME/bin,
$HOME/lib, $HOME/man and $HOME/share. For more options

./configure --help

is also a good idea. Be sure to read the files README and INSTALL in the
GnuPG source directory...

Regards,

Peter

Hello,

I am having my site hosted on pair.com.
I have a Webmaster account which gives me access to Telnet & to
install stuff.

Is there any sort of way to install it ONLY in my home directory?
They don't have GNUPG installed on their system.
Is there any precompiled files for the FreeBSD/Unix platform?

Please guide me through it. I am pulling my hair out!

Thanks a lot.

RPM's and FreeBSD don't mix :) For FreeBSD, your best bet is going to be
to compile it by hand. Fortunately, it compiles painlessly on normal
systems (although I haven't tried the 'h' release yet).
