FC3: failed to create gpg key

[Xia Bin]

Hi all,

It seems that I have some problems in sending this post to the
gnupg-users mailing list, so I post a copy here.

The "gpg --gen-key" command failed on my machine,
Here is the error message:

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

gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof
Key generation failed: eof
gpg: can't create `/home/xia/.gnupg/random_seed': No such file or directory

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

Is there anything I missed?

Thanks

Xia

Does the directory .gnupg exist under your home directory?  If not,
create it.  I ran into problems importing a public key and had to create
the directory.

Thanks, James

Problem solved after the directory created.

Cheers!
