PGP installation for Mandriva Linux 64 bit program


Hello

I want to install PGP on my system. I used it some years ago for Windows; so I am comfortable with PGP.



http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/ver...5.0i/download/

They give you only the source code and expect me to compile. I haven't done such compilations. So I am a bit afraid about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Download PGP 5.0i for Unix

PGP 5.0i is available for most Unix platforms, but since they come in so many flavours, PGP is usually not distributed as binaries. Instead, you'll have to download the source code and compile it yourself. That's relatively easy, though.

* Download PGP 5.0i source code

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will you please advice me on this? Is this compilation a tall order?

I did compilations, some years ago, when making programme on the C++ compiler.

What is this compilation?

It may not be compatible with my Mandriva Linux 2006 version. Mine is a 64 bit program.

I urge you to help me.

It's a standard compile and install. First untar the archive, using

$ tar zxvf pgp50i-unix-src.tar.gz.

Then change to the pgp50i/src directory

$ cd pgp50i/src.

Next run the configure script and build the package

$ ./configure
$ make.

Finally, install (as root)

# make install.

There are instructions in the tarball, you know.

Thanks Nylex.
You have given me the all the necessary instructions to install the PGP.
I would attend it as soon as possible. I must go to work soon.

Don't you think there would be a problem of with my 64 bit program?

For my knowledge, many people make programs for 32 bit platform.
