Subject: Re: New: S/MIME plugin fails to initialize for KMail Sorry, but that's most likely an installation or distribution specific problem. On my SuSE 8.2 system it works fine. I'm using dirmngr-0.4.4, gnupg-1.2.2 and pinentry-0.6.9. The rest is the same as yours. BTW, the correct address for problems with the crypto plugins is gpa-dev@gnupg.org.

On my SuSE 8.2 system it works fine. Not a very helpful comment, because these packages are not assembled in any polished distribution, they are more-or-less roll your own. If you have spec files that you know work well, I would appreciate them. The weird thing I just noticed was that kmail complains about the plugin with version: 0.3.15, but what I have installed is 0.3.16 ! Where could kmail find some other copy of a plugin, since the plugin installation selects one .so in one directory explicitly?

This distribution can be found at ftp.suse.com. If the RPMs don't work then download the SRPMs and rebuild them. I updated some of the SRPMs to newer versions. I will try to make them available via http://kmail.ingo-kloecker.de (but not before Tuesday). Before using the SuSE RPMs I've compiled all necessary packages myself according to the instructions at http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/development.en.html. > The weird thing I just noticed was that kmail complains about > the plugin with version: 0.3.15, but what I have installed is 0.3.16 > !

I think 0.3.15 refers to the version number of the gpgme library and not to the version number of the crypto plugins. Anyway, this error message isn't very helpful. Unfortunately many error messages of the crypto plugins are confusing. You should try whether you get some useful debug messages when you start kmail from command line. Regards, Ingo It looks like the unhelpful message may have been caused by an inability to contact a gpg-agent, where the environment vars didn't get set properly to point to the running gpg-agent. Fixing that, I don't get that message anymore, but I get lots of stored messages marked as having a "bad signature" and logs mention "Invalid Key". Perhaps an independent problem. I have redhat9 src.rpms if anyone wants the specs. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: gcc-3.2.2-5 from redhat OS: Linux I am running a new installation of redhat 9 on a slow pentium. I've upgraded KDE to 3.1.2-0.9x.2 . I had a working set of sphinx tools for kmail under redhat 7.3. I've recompiled the rpm packages under redhat9, installed them, and configured them into KMail. (Well, almost. The "configuration" step under Configure KMail->Security->Crypto Plugins->configure fails for the S/MIME plugin with this message: KGpgCertManager The crypto plugin could not be initialized; the error message was . Certificate Manager will terminate now. ) In any case, KMail now produces a pop-up error message when the program starts, saying: Error - KMail Error: Plug-in "S/MIME" initialization unsuccessful. library: /usr/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-smime.so version: 0.3.15 Plug-in is out-dated or not installed properly. I believe I've installed it the same as before, but these messages don't give much of a clue what to fix. My package versions: cryptplug-0.3.16-1vpb.i386.rpm dirmngr-0.4.5-1vpb.i386.rpm gnupg-1.2.1-1vpb.i386.rpm gpgme-0.3.15-2vpb.i386.rpm gpgme-devel-0.3.15-2vpb.i386.rpm libgcrypt-1.1.12-5vpb.i386.rpm libgcrypt-devel-1.1.12-5vpb.i386.rpm libgcrypt-static-1.1.12-5vpb.i386.rpm libksba-0.4.7-1vpb.i386.rpm libpth14-1.4.1-5vpb.i386.rpm libpth14-devel-1.4.1-5vpb.i386.rpm newpg-0.9.4-4vpb.i386.rpm pinentry-0.6.8-3vpb.i386.rpm kdenetwork-3.1.2-0.9x.1.i386.rpm I guess I could send the src rpms if needed.
