[PLUG] getting PGP for Mandrake 8

["eric@lucii.org" <eric@lucii.org>]

I hate to wave a white flag but this has me seeing red.

Mandrake 8.0 does not have pgp on either CD1 or CD2.
I've installed Mandrake 8.0 and would like to use pgp.  
I tried GPG but it seemed unwilling to use my existing 
keyrings... 

Anyway, I cannot find a rpm for it on any Mandrake site
so I dug one on my own.  It is:

  PGPcmdln_6.5.8_Lnx_FW.rpm

So I try to install:

[root@sol rpm]# rpm -U PGPcmdln_6.5.8_Lnx_FW.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by pgp-6.5.8-rsaref658

so I look for what library I have... 

[root@sol rpm]# rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++
libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.48mdk

If I read this correctly my version of libstdc++ is 2.10
which is NEWER than the 2.8 required!!!

SO... I think to myself - "Luke... use the source!"

I locate and untar: pgpsrc658unix.tar

There is a build.sh script and as root I do the obvious:
./build.sh

A lot of items go streaming by and then this gem:

AARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
Cannot install it from the rpm.
Cannot build it from the source.

Does anybody know how to deal with either of these issues?  
Suggestions like "switch to apt-get" don't help 
(I AM about to do a test installation of Debian; 
 That won't affect the Mandrake 8.0 installation I use everyday).

Thanks!
