    before you can install `GnuPG` you have to resolve all dependencies, that `GnuPG` needs to run. So your first step would be to install `textutils`. – user1146332 Sep 11 '12 at 14:22
  • is there anything which can install all with its dependencies as well – maxjackie Sep 11 '12 at 14:26
  • I'm not a Solaris guy but i heard about `pkg-get` sometime ago which downloads packages and automatically resolve dependencies. With this keyword i found this site http://tutorialgenius.blogspot.de/2012/03/pkg-get-and-pkgutil-package-management.html, that talks about package management on Solaris. Another interesting site is: http://www.opencsw.org/manual/for-administrators/getting-started.html – user1146332 Sep 11 '12 at 14:44

Ooops, ignore this as I just noticed you're using Solaris 10. The below would be for people using v11 with the same question.

I can't get to the bastwave.org to see their steps for building and installing the package. However it appears the tool is available via the support repo.

% pkg info -r crypto/gnupg Name: crypto/gnupg Summary: GNU Privacy Guard Description: A complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP Standard as defined by RFC4880. Category: Applications/System Utilities State: Not installed Publisher: solaris Version: 2.0.27 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.175.3.0.0.30.0 Packaging Date: August 21, 2015 04:15:09 PM Size: 7.12 MB FMRI: pkg://solaris/crypto/[email protected],5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0:20150821T161509Z

So you should be able to install with: pkg install crypto/gnupg
