I'm on SLES9 31 bit with SP1 installed.

GPG 2.0.2 I got from:

http://www.gnupg.org/download/

I did have to compile it as there wasn't a RPM for zSeries.

I didn't find anything on the Novell site for GPG other than 1.4.6.

What OS are you running, and where did you get the package?  I just
checked
my SLED10 box, and it only had gpg-1.9.18 as a test version, not
2.0.2.
When I tried gpg2 --gen-key it worked just fine on a console for me.

Subject: gpg 2.0 on VT?


I'm back on the GPG 2.0.2 project.

When doing a gpg2 --gen-key, I get:

You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.  <==note, it never
gave me a chance to respond


Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
gpg-agent[23188]: can't connect server: ec=4.16383
gpg-agent[23188]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: End of file
gpg-agent[23188]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry
gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: Key generation canceled.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/gnupg-2.0.2>

"cannot open display:"....sounds like I need to be on a x-terminal.
The program this is being sent from, seems to be "pinentry-0.7.2"
which
required gtk and glib (1.2.10) to be installed.

I don't know how to get around this.  I think I should be able to
generate gpg keys with a VT100 type terminal.  Perhaps gpg 2.0 is a
gui-only product?

Thanks
