No. Taking part in social networks and other media is a choice. One can a) choose not to take part at all, or b) choose how one takes part and what information one shares. In short, privacy of information is still real, still relevant, and still (largely) within the control of the individual. Tools such as encryption help retain the reality of privacy of information. The question of privacy of information is of critical importance to liberty. By choosing to believe that privacy (or specifically privacy of information) is a concept that has "fade"ed you are playing into the hands of those who would wish to forcefully strip us all of privacy, whether we like or or not. That would be a mistake, I think. -- Mark Rousell PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Sorry about that. > I've now got the four dependencies noted in the gnupg-2.0.26 README installed under /usr/local/ at latest versions : libgpg-error-1.13 libgcrypt--1.6.2 libksba-1.3.0 libassuan-2.1.2 Running configure on gnupg-2.0.26 produced a demand for pth which I downloaded and installed (pth-2.0.7).

There seem to be 2 errors but I don't understand the second one. 'Configure' didn't point out the need for zlib.h but examination of its output indicates that it had noted its absence. I already have zlib (as I already had the other dependencies albeit at earlier versions except for libksba) but the ubuntu distribution seems to rename them and install in the /lib/ branch rather than the /usr/local/ branch. For example, I have the package zlib1g installed according to dpkg in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. So I suppose I now have to find a source for zlib or find how to tell gnupg where to find it ? 0x23543A63.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
