the only message i see from you about getting gpg to work on solaris is
from back in September:
Subject: "Insecure memory" (yes setuid set) and "get_passphrase failed"
I don't see any issues about compilation there, though -- sorry if your
messages were missed.

sounds like a functional workaround for the moment, but it doesn't get
you into the realm of running software with active support :(
