I thought of trying something I had not done in a very long time (several years). I installed the "equivs" package for Debian and replaced the older libgcrypt development packages with fake packages I created with equivs. I did not think this would work, but I am now compiling the CVS gnupg and "configure" did not complain about not finding libgcrypt development libs, it found them. The nice thing about this is that I did not have to remove 20 or so packages just to be able to compile a devel version of gnupg. The equivs package saved the day. -- Andrew ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
