Keybase does not work with Macports GPG #2497

Open wbl opened 8 years ago

wbl commented 8 years ago

Macports installs the gpg binary as gpg2. The Keybase.IO client for Mac OS X doesn't have a setting to configure the location or name of the GPG executable, and so doesn't work.

Does it work if you use an alias?

Try this 

alias pgp="pgp2" && keybase pgp list

If this works maybe keybase will maybe have to figure out how to leverage pgp2 if present over pgp

Check out keybase help advanced. There you will find the flag

--gpg           Path to GPG client (optional for exporting keys)

You can set this permanently with

keybase config set gpg.command /path/to/your/gpg2

Does that work?

I am using the graphical client. When I use the command line client after symlinking gpg to gpg2 in my private bin directory all works.

I had the same issue... I had a cryptic error about gpg not being supported on the device (immediately after GUI login). I tried to symlink it but to no avail (not sure if I screwed that up, or it's because my private keys are on a Yubikey). I did successfully set up with the command line client, and now the GUI seems to work fine.
