What do you mean by "worked all right"? Did the pinentry program pop up?=20
Or did you simply enter the passphrase on the command line? If the=20
latter is the case then it did not work all right.

Well, obviously gpgme-config is missing for some reason (it should be in=20
/usr/local/bin if you didn't change the install prefix with the=20
=2D-prefix option). Did installing gpgme really work?
