you need general help? okay, start here: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/

and get expert support here: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.en.html ... i recommend [e-mail] rather than the gcrypt devel list, unless you feel like getting a scolding.

we're not against trying to help, but you've got to give us some more to go on than just "can you hook a brotha up?"

also, this is a general C forum; we mostly stick to standard C. what you're asking about is a specialized library. some people here may be familiar with it, but many are not.

if you have specific problem and post your code along with an explanation of whats' going wrong, then maybe I or someone else can help you.

no worries. you weren't misleading anyone. this is a common event with new users. i'll just tell you now, and then you'll know

if you stick around you can get a lot of help. just read the sticky posts at the top of the main C Forum page on what the community here expects.

basically it's three simple things:

-- post your code when you want specific help.
-- use [code] tags so we can read your code.
-- don't hijack other people's threads.

stick with that and you'll get along swimmingly :)
