Hello, I'm running a debian Jessie v8 kernel release 3.16.0-4-amd64 on my personal laptop. It came pre-installed with GnuPG 1.4.18.
I went to generate keys for myself by typing: gpg2 --gen-key But then during the process got this error: gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry Key generation failed: No pinentry So I assumed I needed to install Pinentry and downloaded it from gnupg.org. I tried running ./configure as root and towards the end I got the following warnings and errors. I'm not sure how many issues I'm dealing with here or how to fix them. checking for gpg-error-config... /usr/local/bin/gpg-error-config checking for GPG Error - version >= 1.16... yes (1.25) configure: WARNING: *** *** The config script /usr/local/bin/gpg-error-config was *** built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and thus may not match the *** used host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. *** You may want to use the configure option --with-gpg-error-prefix *** to specify a matching config script or use $SYSROOT. *** checking for libassuan-config... /usr/local/bin/libassuan-config checking for LIBASSUAN - version >= 2.1.0... yes (2.4.3) checking LIBASSUAN API version... okay configure: WARNING: *** *** The config script /usr/local/bin/libassuan-config was *** built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and thus may not match the *** used host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. *** You may want to use the configure option --with-libassuan-prefix *** to specify a matching config script or use $SYSROOT. *** checking for byte typedef... no checking for ulong typedef... yes checking for setcap... /sbin/setcap checking for cap_set_proc in -lcap... no checking for pkg-config... no checking for ncursesw... checking for ncurses... checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no checking for initscr in -lncurses... no checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no checking for initscr in -lcurses... no checking if Unix domain socket is supported... yes checking for pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config...

I appreciate any help, thanks. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
