I have gnupg 1.4.9 installed and kmail 1.9.9 on KDE 3.5.9
when I try to go to SETTINGS-Configure kmail-Security the GpgME section is
greyed out. When I hit rescan it tells me:
While scanning for OpenPGP support backend GpgME:
Engine /usr/bin/pgp is not installed properly
While scanning for SMIME support backend GpgME:
Engine /usr/bin/pgpsm is not installed properly
locate pgp shows /usr/local/bin
what am I doing wrong?

What does 'which gpg' show?
I think you should be seeing /usr/bin/gpg (gpg, not pgp).

I was told to try to purge the packages, and if that didn't work to reinstall
them...
