Hello,

Basically i’m doing a message transaction (PGP-DES-MD5). Everything seems to be fine. The problem we have is with the library libdes.a.

I’m working in AIX system. This libdes.a created seems to be for UNIX HP and others like Linux, Sun Solaris, etc. The makefile says about these. The library is working but the process seems to hang when ever it calls the encryption method “FIX_encrypt_msg()” from fapi.cxx more than once. The first message or may be 2 messages seem to go well but then with next message when encrypted seem to hang. I have tried all options other than this encryption and it works fine even with just MD5 signature.

Do you have any idea about the library libdes.a in AIX or is there a version. Is there any need to change the compiler options for AIX.

I’m using the compiler xlC (IBM visual age for C++). Is there anybody using the same library for AIX. If yes what change was made in the make file for compiler options and what compiler was used. I need a bit immediately as i’m in the last thing.

Thanks in advance

Hari

Check out:

ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/DES/

you should be able to download the source, adjust the Makefile and build it.

Currently i’m using the library which was take from the site ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/DES/. I have tried various makefile options. I just wanted to know whether anybody has done this and if anybody is using a DES library libdes.a created in AIX.

Thanks in advance
