Darwin Ports installs a version of pinentry (required for gpg-agent to function) that is not compatible with MacOSX. If you want to install a functioning gnupg2 for MacOSX, with a Mac native pinentry.app, you might want to try MacGPG2 2.0.12 http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/ http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2009-June/036724.html, that can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/files/macgpg2/ Having done a little digging I decided to enable --debug-all to see if this would shed any light on the problem - unfortunately the error message means very little on first inspection - hence this mail. gpg-agent[66760.6] DBG: - ERR 67109144 parameter conflict - unknown value for WHAT I've included the full session output below with certain fields X'd out... _Environment_info_ Mac OS X 10.5.8 gnupg2 installed via darwin ports That should be the problem. _Non_standard_entries_in_~/.gnupg/gpg.conf_ personal-digest-preferences SHA512 cert-digest-algo SHA512 default-preference-list SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 AES192 AES CAST5 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP Uncompressed Any help or suggestions of where to look further appreciated.

Re: gpg-agent unknown value for WHAT
Firstly, thx for the quick replies. I'm in the process of updating gpg using the urls Charly forwarded in the previous email - I guess I could try to just update the gpg-agent in use on my machine from that release then stick with the mac port version of gpg? Just one less variable to tidy up? Sound's like a patch is needed to mac ports in any case. I'll try pinging a mail over there and see if there's any chance they can update.

Just one less variable to tidy up? I don't remember whether using the MacGPG2 2.0.12 installer will simply overwrite your Darwin Ports installation. If it does, you will have a working MacGPG2 2.0.12, complete with gpg-agent and Mac native pinentry.app. If it doesn't, you might still have some problems with the remnants of the previous install. Sound's like a patch is needed to mac ports in any case. Yes. I'll try pinging a mail over there and see if there's any chance they can update. Wish you luck.
