What bothers me is the fact that I have gnupg installed (as far as I can
tell), and I have the keys. Kmail requires a backend for encryption, and
what I have cited in my OP is what the error msg states. In its entirety it
states thus:

"While scanning for OpenPGP support in baend GpgME:
GPGME was compiled w/o support for OpenPGP.
"While scanning for S/MIME support in backend GpgME:
GPGME was compiled withough support for S/MIME."

Since KMail is the app that one uses for encryption/sighning it is puzzling
that it is not working. I am no stranger to encryption/signing but I am a
complete stranger to this error. Knoppix, SuSE v(8.2 -10), Gentoo (2004.3 -
2005.1) all have worked right out of the box. This one doesn't seem to want
to do that, unfortunately.

Is there anything I can post --i.e., a config file, or something-- that will
help you help me with this?

Thanks. :-)
