In the .c file are the instructions to compile the module:
gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o rsa rsa.c
Put the resulting file, "rsa" into the correct directory, on my system
it is "/usr/local/lib/gnupg".
Add the line "load-extension rsa" to your .gnupg/options file.
That's it, you're finished.
The idea and skipjack modules are installed similarly.
One note: If you're using Solaris, you can't use GNU ld and as, you
must use the ones in /usr/ccs/bin.
