<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>I would not advise that setup.</p>
<p>You can download and install our <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies">latest hotfix GPG Suite</a>. It includes MacGPG 2.2.17 and an updated libgcrypt.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
Steve</p>
<p>Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet - bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/474697062019-07-29T20:25:12Z2019-07-29T20:25:13ZParallel Use of GnuPG and MacGPG<div><p>I have now de-instelled the GnuPG Package and only the MacPG is active ( beside an scd-pkcs11 lib )</p>
<p>So is the Hotfix used without the GnuPG package ?</p></div>antispam007tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/474697062019-08-01T16:26:48Z2019-08-01T16:26:48ZParallel Use of GnuPG and MacGPG<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>could you please elaborate what you mean by "Hotfix used without the GnuPG package ?".<br>
To add more information to your first question, it is not really possible to run two different versions of GnuPG side-by-side and one reason for that is, that gpg-agent – the process which handles the passphrase caching, unlocking of the secret key for decrypting and signing message – is launched on demand, as are other processes. However, if one is already running, which was the case in your case, GnuPG will complain that the versions don't match.</p>
<p>Our latest hotfix contains the latest GnuPG version soon after its release by gnupg.org, so what you can do is to install only MacGPG/GnuPG from the latest hotfix by following this guide: <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/how-to/gpg-suite-custom-install">https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/how-to/gpg-suite-custom-install</a></p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/474697062019-08-01T20:18:43Z2019-08-01T20:18:48ZParallel Use of GnuPG and MacGPG<div><p>Hi Luke,</p>
<p>ok, you explained it, why it is not working to have both (MacGPG and GnuPG) versions installed. So I now have only installed MacGPG and scd-pkcs11lib and it works so far. I will open a different topic for a different question.</p></div>antispam007tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/474697062019-08-01T20:24:20Z2019-08-01T20:24:20ZParallel Use of GnuPG and MacGPG<div><p>Glad this is solved for you. I'm closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.</p>
