Ken, I actually violated the tenets of sound troubleshooting and changed the error to a warning in pth.h and pth.h.in... Although it may not be the soundest approach, it got me past this issue, but then into another on the way to installing GnuPG 2.0.12...
Using no ulimit changes in the login .profile, ulimit -n was 2000; my reading led me to conclude the concern was in initializing 64K file descriptors. I therefore reasoned that the performance difference between 1024 and 2000 was negligible when contrasted with the performance difference between 64K and 1K. The downside to that reasoning is that the kernel may be using the 64K, but processes are only initially granted the 2000... I shall run configure as you suggest and I'll let you all know!

Glancing through pth.h I found this: /* check if the user requests a bigger FD_SETSIZE than we can handle */ #if defined(FD_SETSIZE) #if FD_SETSIZE > 1024 #error "FD_SETSIZE is larger than what GNU Pth can handle." #endif #endif So... use the configure switch "--with-fdsetsize=1024" and it should work.
