Re: Decryption Fails on UserName but not on EmailAddress ???
David, On the target (recipient) machine: --list-keys shows my Primary Key, My desktop Key and a co-worker's desktop key --list-secret-keys shows only my Primary Ke --list-keys PrimaryKeyUserName it only lists my primary key. This has happen when a file was encrypted from EITHER my desktop or mycoworker's desktop.

You have to check the source (sender) machine. The wrong key is used during encryption.

My first question: is there a way to simply Well, it is available for 6 years and GnuPG 2.0 was released 3 years ago. Gpg-agent is not optional but a cornerstone of GnuPG-2.

Re: manual for gpgme
This is what I did (I am new to this list however, so more experienced people might have better answers): download the source code of gpgme, cd into the directory, there is a doc directory in there, with some Makefile stanza Makefile.am or the like. I ran $ ./configure from the main directory (the one above doc), just so that the real Makefile was produced in doc I also had to also install libgpg-error-dev (I am on Debian squeeze), # apt-get install libgpg-error-dev so that the ./configure would go through smoothly (just as if I had wanted to really build gpgme, I happen to feel more comfortable however, if everything - the Makefile in this case - is built automatically) Then (with a Makefile in doc), I ran $ make pdf there, complains still about texi2dvi not being found on my system, fixed that by installing # apt-get install texinfo and there you go: $ make pdf should work now. hope this helps, -Andreas On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 02:40:46PM -0400, Maneki Neko wrote: > Where can I find a manual for gpgme's API? > On gnupg's homepage, a reference manual is referenced, but there is no such > manual under Documentation -> Manuals. > A search on Google only turns up a non-downloadable outdated version of the > manual for 1.1.6 on pyme.sourceforge.net. > I see in gpgme download readme that there is supposed to be a manual > included in /doc, but I'm not sure what to do with those.

Sounds like the directories and sub-directories where GPG stands have not enough permissions for other users. -- Laurent Jumet KeyID: 0xCFAF704C ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
