Following instructions means also changing some parameters to meet |
| 11 |
your system specific needs. That means that if you go and type |
| 12 |
everything on a tutorial without understanding it, you'll probably |
| 13 |
issue an "rm -rf /*" because a malicious online tutorial told you to. |
| 14 |
Now, let's see, you're using GENTOO, and need help with GNUPG, |
| 15 |
Googling "gentoo gnupg" brings, voilá: |

So, it reads the first line and don't understand it, so, the line is |
| 24 |
WRONG for some reason. |

Ahm, so its wrong because it is NOT a configuration option, rather a |
| 33 |
call for the file that should read and interpret it, who the heck |
| 34 |
wrote this config file?! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Remove this line, PLEASE. |

You won't find anything, Gentoo uses another location, why is the |
| 45 |
binary agent of the program you wanna run odd? |

Because its not a directory?! IT'S A FILE!!! A binary one, probably executable. |

See, not a directory, told you. And so did Linux, Linux is so smart. |

Follow the Gentoo Guide, be happy and read some Linux basic |
| 65 |
instructions on files/directories/scripts, oh, and get familiar with |
| 66 |
configuration files, they usually have a similar syntax. |
