Since I had not built 1.4.2.1 (still using 1.4.2), and nobody else has responded in the digest (if somebody else responded, I apologize) I downloaded 1.4.2.1 and had no problems. You can help by starting over (by that I mean start with a fresh set of files from the very beginning, including a new download if you feel that is necessary) and doing it the following way in some sort of SH type shell, bash, sh, ksh: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ bzip2 -dc gnupg-1.4.2.1.tar.bz2 | tar -xf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cd gnupg-1.4.2.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg-1.4.2.1]$ ./configure > LOG.config 2> ERR.config [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg-1.4.2.1]$ ls -l LOG.* ERR.* -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 0 Mar 8 02:38 ERR.config -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 13899 Mar 8 02:39 LOG.config [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg-1.4.2.1]$ ls -l LOG.* ERR.* -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 0 Mar 8 02:38 ERR.config -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 108 Mar 8 02:40 ERR.make -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 13899 Mar 8 02:39 LOG.config -rw-r--r-- 1 hhhobbit hhhobbit 44623 Mar 8 02:41 LOG.make [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg-1.4.2.1]$ cat ERR.make ttyio.c: In function `tty_get_ttyname': ttyio.c:103: warning: null argument where non-null required (arg 1) You can see that I took the defaults and it worked just fine. I think one of your files somehow got altered. I don't know which one it is, or how or even when it got corrupted. BTW, I suggest ALWAYS doing your builds not just of GnuPG, but all software this way to let you know if before you even made it to make whether you were able to get a good configure. You also didn't specify if you gave configure any options. I will assume you didn't. You SHOULD end up with a ZERO size ERR.config file. If you don't, start there.
