Gnupg library issues on Solaris 11

UNIX Solaris
1

I have installed gnupg from the official Solaris 11 repository, but am experiencing library issues. This is the error I am getting:

ld.so.1: gpg2: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5: symbol tgetent: referenced symbol not found

/usr/lib/libreadline.so.5 should have a dependency on something like /lib/libcurses.so.1

How up-to-date is your Solaris 11 install?

We use Solaris 11.0. This is a known bug in gpg2 in Solaris 11.0 (aka Solaris 11 11/11), originally filed as Sun bug 7098984, now known as [cannot post link].

It�s fixed in Solaris 11.1 and later releases. For Solaris 11.0, this workaround helped in our case (but not if you're using pfexec/sudo/etc.):

env LD_PRELOAD_32=/usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 gpg2
