Hi,

Apparently there may have been some permission issues with fink and gpg in using gpgmail with apple's mail.app, these were solved by restoring permissions using "sudo chown -R {useridname} ~/.gnupg" (see below)

IT WORKED! :)

Thanks everyone..I learned a lot

it was a permissions issue (Charly, I did indeed set my default id in prefs, thanks), then

I entered

"sudo chown -R alessintl ~/.gnupg" {in a terminal} (thanks St�phane)

and it works ! happy days :)

If you have not used GPGPreferences, available on the Mac GPG (macgpg.sf.net) site, try installing and using it. It attempts to discover and fix these errors.

Did you build your own gpg, install it using Fink, or use the Mac GPG installer?

Hi Randall,

I installed gpg using fink, I just installed GPG preferences, went to resend, entered my passphrase, then when sending I got a dialog box error

creating keyring `/Users/alessintl/.gnupg/secring.gpg': Permission denied
keyblock resource `/Users/alessintl/.gnupg/secring.gpg': file open error
error creating keyring `/Users/alessintl/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': Permission denied

Oops! Seems you have file privileges errors here! Something went wrong when installing gpg; you'd better have used MacGPG distribution...
Login as alessintl, then open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. Type the following:

sudo chown -R alessintl ~/.gnupg


This will correct file permissions. Then type:

/sw/bin/gpg

And finally open GPGPreferences that will take care of other settings.

HTH,

St�phane


also gpg --list-keys does list my keys and my friends...? what to do? thanks!
