This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello everybody,
after an update from Version 9.9.0 to 10.2.0 on Solaris Sparc, I get this error on every command:
e.g.
# pgp --version
pgp:version (3090:operation failed, improper initialization)
# pgp -l
pgp:list keys (3090:operation failed, improper initialization)
Any suggestions to solve this problem?
Best Regards
Christoph May

Have you updated the license? I think from v9 to v10 you require to re-license
http://www.cstl.com
When I try this as root:
# pgp --version
PGP Command Line 10.2 build 283

Only as normal user it's not usable.
Thank you for your help.
hmm, can you do the verbose one? pgp --version --verbose
paste that in please
http://www.cstl.com
Brings the same:
# pgp --version --verbose
pgp:version (3090:operation failed, improper initialization)
As root:
# pgp --version --verbose
PGP Command Line 10.2 build 283

Do you have the ability to restart the machine? Improper Initialization leads me to deduce that something is not starting up gracefully

This error is a strange one to get.
Do try rebooting as that might help.
You get this problem for a "normal" user, but not for root. Do you get this problem for all normal users, or just this one?
For the user with the problem, please run "ipcs -a | grep 0x20" and post the result.
Thanks,

A colleague found the problem:
After a truss on pgp --version:
[....]
open("home/.pgp/PGPsdkIPC/shm_rnd_141fb90d", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666) Err#13 EACCES [ZONE]
[....]
It seems like the installation of Version 10.2 pgp creates the directory PGPskdIPC. The owner of this directory is on default root. Changing it to the local user is the solution:
After changing the owner of PGPsdkIPC:
# pgp --version

Anyway, thank you for your help.
Very strange, that sounds to me like a folder that gets used during an upgrade/installation but should get removed after install, there's no documentation of that folder name whatsoever.
