Re: PGP Encryption for the AS/400 ...

Maybe GnuPG can be loaded the same way. Have you tried that?
I found a binary on bullfreeware.com that is an exe (containing mostly zip format) that contains a .bff file which I was able to extract. 

$ cd /QOpenSys/
$ restore -xvqdf gnu.pg-1.0.4.0.bff
I don't know what the parameters mean; I found an example somewhere for the restore command that had those. It installed the binary to /usr/local/bin so I added that to my path. 

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Then I tried to run it.

$ gpg -v
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program gpg because of the following errors: 0509-150 Dependent module libz.a(shr.o) could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libz.a(shr.o). 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. 0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/local/bin/gpg. 

(Sorry for the wrapping.)

I see that means I need zlib:

http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/zlib.html (which version?)

I picked the AIX 5.1 version.

$ uncompress zlib.1.2.3.tar.Z
$ tar xvf zlib.1.2.3.tar
Now I get "0509-152 Member shr.o is not found in archive" instead of 0509-026 above.
I'm going to stop for the day and see if something brilliant comes to me later.
I had previously tried compiling from source and got a series of errors like:
mpih-div.c:100: error: can't find a register in class `MQ_REGS' while reloading `asm'
I saw a post (from a Google search) that suggested --disable-asm which I can only assume would be a parameter to the ./configure script.
