+    Configure options 
+    -----------------
+    Here is a list of configure options which are sometime useful 
+    for installation.
+
+    --enable-static-rnd=<name> 
+                     Force the use of the random byte gathering
+		     module <name>.  Default is either to use /dev/random
+		     or the standard Uix module.  Value for name:
+		       egd - Use the module which accesses the
+			     Entropy Gathering Daemon. See the webpages
+			     for more information about it.
+		      unix - Use the standard Unix module which does not
+			     have a very good performance.
+		     linux - Use the module which accesses /dev/random.
+			     This is the first choice and the default one
+			     for GNU/Linux or *BSD.
+		      none - Do not linkl any module in but rely on
+			     a dynmically loaded modules.
+
+    --with-egd-socket=<name>
+                     This is only used when EGD is used as random
+                     gatherer. GnuPG uses by default "~/.gnupg/entropy"
+                     as the socket to connect EGD.  Using this option the
+                     socket name can be changed.  You may use any filename
+                     here with 2 exceptions:  a filename starting with
+                     "~/" uses the socket in the homedirectory of the user
+                     and one starting with a "=" uses a socket in the
+                     GnuPG homedirectory which is bye default "~/.gnupg".
+   
+     --with-included-zlib
+                     Forces usage of the local zlib sources. Default is
+		     to use the (shared) library of the system.
+
+     --with-included-gettext
+                     Forces usage of the local gettext sources instead of
+		     the one provided by your system.
+
+     --disable-nls
+                     Disable NLS support (See the file ABOUT-NLS)
+
+     --enable-m-guard
+                     Enable the integrated malloc checking code. Please
+                     note that this feature does not work on all CPUs
+                     (e.g. SunOS 5.7 on UltraSparc-2) and might give
+                     you a bus error.
+
+     --disable-dynload 
+                    If you have problems with dynamic loading, this
+                    option disables all dynamic loading stuff.
+
+     --disable-asm
+                    Do not use assembler modules.  It is not possible 
+                    to use this on some CPU types.
+                    
+
+    Installation Problems
+    ---------------------
+    If you get unresolved externals "gettext" you should run configure
+    again with the option "--with-included-gettext"; this is version
+    0.10.35 which is available at alpha.gnu.org.
+
+    If you have other compile problems, try the configure options
+    "--with-included-zlib" or "--disable-nls" (See ABOUT-NLS) or
+    --disable-dynload.
+
+    We can't check all assembler files, so if you have problems
+    assembling them (or the program crashes) use --disable-asm with
+    ./configure.  The configure scripts may consider several
+    subdirectories to get all available assembler files; be sure to
+    delete the correct ones. The assembler replacements are in C and
+    in mpi/generic; never delete udiv-qrnnd.S in any CPU directory,
+    because there may be no C substitute.  Don't forget to delete
+    "config.cache" and run "./config.status --recheck".
+
+    Some make tools are broken - the best solution is to use GNU's
+    make.  Try gmake or grab the sources from a GNU archive and
+    install them.
+
+    On some OSF you may get unresolved externals.  This is a libtool
+    problem and the workaround is to manually remove all the "-lc -lz"
+    but the last one from the linker line and execute them manually.
+
+    On some architectures you see warnings like:
+      longlong.h:175: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
+    or
+      http.c:647: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type
+    This doesn't matter and we know about it (actually it is due to
+    some warning options which we have enabled for gcc)
+
+
+    Specific problems on some machines
+    ----------------------------------
+
+    * IBM RS/6000 running AIX:
+
+	Due to a change in gcc (since version 2.8) the MPI stuff may
+	not build. In this case try to run configure using:
+	    CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=powerpc" ./configure
+
+    * Compaq C V6.2 for alpha:
+
+        You may want to use the option "-msg-disable ptrmismatch1"
+        to get rid of the sign/unsigned char mismatch warnings.
+
+    * SVR4.2 (ESIX V4.2 cc)
+
+        Due to problems with the ESIX as, you probably want to do
+            CFLAGS="-O -K pentium" ./configure --disable-asm
+        Reported by Reinhard Wobst.
+
+
+
+    The Random Device
+    -----------------
+
+    Random devices are available in Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
+    Operating systems without a random devices must use another
+    entropy collector.  One entropy collector called rndunix and
+    available as an extension module. You should put the line:
+       load-extension rndunix
+    into your  ~/.gnupg/options file unless you have used the proper
+    configure option.
+
+    This collector works by running a lot of commands that yield more
+    or less unpredictable output and feds this as entropy into the
+    random generator - It should work reliably but you should check
+    whether it produces good output for your version of Unix. There
+    are some debug options to help you (see cipher/rndunix.c).
+
+    Creating an RPM package
+    -----------------------
+    The file scripts/gnupg.spec is used to build a RPM package (both
+    binary and src):
+      1. copy the spec file into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
+      2. copy the tar file into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
+      3. type: rpm -ba SPECS/gnupg.spec
+
+    Or use the -t (--tarbuild) option of rpm:
+      1. rpm -ta gnupg-x.x.x.tar.gz
+
+    The binary rpm file can now be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS, source
+    rpm in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
