gpg: signal 11 caught ... exiting

[Shamim1]

I've compiled open gnupg-1.4.9 on HP-UX Machine.
When I try to install gnupg on HP-UX Machine, it gives below error and exit. However if execute it second time it works fine.

#/usr/local/bin/gpg --version | grep -i gpg
gpg: signal 11 caught ... exiting

Hi:

Did you install the runtime dependencies, too? I assume that you fetched this from the HP-UX Porting Center (?).

Regards!

...JRF...

[OldSchool]

one of the dependencies is egd (for those OSes not having /dev/random)

so...do you have either of the above? if you got egd, is it running?

Thanks for reply. However I've not downloaded gnupg from HP-UX Porting Center. But Compiled locally. I compield with "gcc -static" options. It give problem when it is part of initial load . however whener we installed on already running machine it works fine.

Please explain. Does it fail only the first
time you run GPG, or does it always fail
when you run it on one particular system?

Signal 11 (SIGSEGV) doesn't sound good.

The exact build procedure you used might be
interesting. It probably doesn't matter, but
which GCC version?

I seem to have built mine back in April, and
I don't remember seeing any problems. I
probably didn't ask for "static".

Thanks

However it is giving

gpg: signal 11 caught ... exiting and memory segmentation fault.


We made it a part of initial.

[Shamim1]

Is there problem in upward compatibility of gnupg binaries. i've compiled on HP-UX11.11 and running on HP-UX11.23

[Steven Schweda]

Do you ever answer questions, or do you only
ask them?

> We made it a part of initial.

I don't understand that.
