I wanted to install GnuPG by compiling the binaries but I'm stuck on the second dependancy, libgpg-error. I'll check the obvious tomorrow and shasum the tarball, re-download it (etc) but I'm hoping I can find a little insight into what's going on here. I'm on macOS Catalina.
Here's what I'm trying to do in Terminal (as is documented in the README). Briefly, configure, make, install:
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
However, the first command sudo ./configure produces an error:
sudo: ./configure: command not found
So,
- I'm wondering if anybody has experienced the same issue and why? Is this common?
- Should I expect more issues compiling GnuPG from the binaries?
- Any suggestions on alternative PGP command line tools?
I am not interested in the GPGTools/PGP Suite for macOS. I don't want all the bels and whistles. I'm just looking for a command line PGP utility.
Edit: Revised question with Terminal input and output.

While in the root directory, type the command in Terminal:
