Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi, I have installed gnugp-2.0.8 on sparc solaris 9. If I
type gpg2 --gen-key i get the error:

can't connect to `//.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or directory
gpg-agent[11076]: can't connect server: `ERR 67109133 can't exec
`/usr/local/bin/pinentry': No such file or directory'
gpg-agent[11076]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: IPC connect call failed
gpg-agent[11076]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry
gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: Key generation canceled.

So, I think I need the package pinentry-0.7.5 to ,isn't it ?
I can configure Pinentry, if i type make, i get the error that
getopt.h was not found. Maybe I don't need it. So I delete the line
"#include <getopt.h>" in pinentry.c and configure,make again. It doesnt't work.
Can you help me please ? what is the mistake here ?

regards stefan

This is a problem with pinentry.

Please run pinnetry on the command line and enter
GETPIN
on the prompt. Does a window pop up and allows to enter the PIN?
