This means that gpg (or pgp) is not installed on your machine.
You can download gpg (a free version of pgp) from
http://www.gnupg.org/download/ . However, it is not needed to
compile glpk. It is only needed to check that glpk tarball has been
downloaded without errors.

To compile glpk you need to have MSVC installed. Just unpack the
distribution tarball, enter subdirectory (folder) 'w32', and run
appropriate batch file.
