pgp as a C programming library in Linux?

[Tie Kan]

About why some of the tests failed after the package is installed, I
think this is because gpgme library uses only keys in default keyring. 

For example, in 't-encrypt', two keys are added: 'Bob' and 'Alpha'.
These two keys are not added to my default keyring in
~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. As a result, the keys are invalid and an error of
"no recipient" is thrown. After I modified the lines where keys for
'Bob' and 'Alpha' are added to some valid keys in my default keyring,
everything works fine.

This raises another question: how can I test gpgme library using a user
specified keyring rather than the default keyring? (For example, the
pubring.gpg file that locates in the tests/gpg directory?)

Thanks in advance,

Tie Kan

I see this sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be reproducible.  Esp, I
see
this when I do funny things, like configuring in the source tree and in
a
subdirectory (after a make distclean).  Something very strange must go
on.
Usually starting with a fresh copy of the CVS repository works for me.
Can
you try if this fixes it for you?
 
Thanks,
Marcus
