I had this same error when I built 1.2.1 on a redhat box, using the same
specfile I had used in the past.  The problem in my case was that
keyservers/Makefile added gnupg onto the end of the whatever was passed in
as libexecdir.  So when the rpm specfile passed in /usr/lib/gnupg as
libexecdir, the keyserver makefile was making that /usr/lib/gnupg/gnupg.  I
found this out by running strings on the gpg binary.

Try this as a test, cd to /usr/lib/gnupg and symlink gnugp to . and see if
that helps.  If so, you've got the same problem.

I tried asking about this on the redhat phoebe list (since the phoebe rpm
still uses the same specfile as 1.0.7 and is therefore likely to fail on
ldap lookups) but I didn't get any replies.  I've been meaning to ask here
about this but hadn't gotten around to it (until now :).

I noticed in looking at the makefiles that there is a GNUPG_LIBEXECDIR as
well as the normal libexecdir defined.  In all the makefiles except in
keyservers, libexecdir is set to what the user passed in and
GNUPG_LIBEXECDIR is $libexecdir/gnupg.  Is it intentional that the
keyservers makefile is different?
