We (the MacGPG team) are aware of a change in Jaguar that prevents GPG
from running from the command line (in a Terminal session).  This issue
also prevents certain functionality in GPGKeys - functionality that
requires a Terminal session - from working correctly.

Specifically, the path /usr/local/bin is no longer part of the default
environment variables for the system.  Once I have a copy of Jaguar (I'm
going to tonight's release party at the Apple Store in Littleton, CO), I
will hopefully be able to address the issue with a new installer release.

In the meantime, you can still install GPG 1.0.7 using the installer
provided at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=20789.  After
installing, however, it will be necessary to add /usr/local/bin to the
$PATH environment variable.  If you are running tcsh (you'll know if you
aren't - it's the default shell), you can add the following line to your
~/.cshrc file using the pico text editor:

set path = ( $path /usr/local/bin );

The more UNIX-savvy out there should be able to add this to a
system-wide configuration file.  From what I've been reading so far,
Jaguar's default location for csh environment files isn't the same.
Happy Hunting!

When I do have an updated installer available, you will be able to run
it and install over the 1.0.7r2 edition without any problems, and it
will fix the problem.

Stay tuned!

Chad
