gpg: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg': file open error

Post #1 of 5 (470 views)

Hello,

OS is as follow: RH 70, Kernel 2.4test8 GCC 2.96, GLIBC 2.1.91
Compile time is as follow:

CFLAGS=”-static -O3 –march=i686 –funroll-loops –fomit-frame-pointer” \
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--enable-static-rnd=linux \
--disable-nls \
--disable-shared

Compilation and installation success without problem.
The make check command return the following error: "expect" needed but
not found - test skipped / All tests passed

Now the problem is that I get the following errors from --gen-key:

gpg: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg': file open error
gpg: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg': file open error
Please select what kind of key you want:

Please cc to my address as I am not subscribed.

Thank you,

It's the compiler shipped with RHL7... a heavily patched snapshot.
Further details, flames, and commentary available at any Linux news
site.

Hmmm, do you have set an empty keyring filename?

Run it under strace -e file

Yes, and RedHat is shipping it!! The Gcc steering committee gave them
some heat about it. It produces 'C++' object files incompatible
with gcc-2.x or gcc-3.x. One of HeadRat's many blunders in the 7.0 release.

The 2.4 kernel that ships with RH 7.0 is not stable.

And the GCC 2.96 is not quite kosher either.

They recommend using the KGCC compiler for your kernel,
so perhaps using kgcc for GPG is a good idea as well?
