More news: I successfully got GnuPG 1.9 installed, and then a new problem arose. Configuration.
I went to http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html#gnupg and followed the instructions to the best of my ability, and yet I still get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.gnupg $ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" gpg-agent[10716]: /home/lsauron/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:1: invalid option so, ~lsauron/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat ~lsauron/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf gpg-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800 I'm totally stumped. I didn't find anything in /usr/local/bin like kmail.kde.org said, however, /usr/bin/gpg-agent is really odd in that it's not actually there (I don't think - I can't cd to it): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /usr/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin $ ls | find gpg-agent gpg-agent [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin $ cd gpg-agent bash: cd: gpg-agent: Not a directory I'm rather confused. Any help? I know I did something wrong, but I'm too close to the solution to even entertain the thought of giving up! Oh, and the dialog that prompted for gnupg 1.9, it now says that it detected the install but gpg-agent isn't running. That's why I'm happy - I'm very very close to getting this thing to work!
