S/MIME support in Kmail v1.9.7

All:

I hope this post is appropriate for this list.

I'm having problems getting Kmail to recognize S/MIME support. From
what I've read, it all depends on the installation of GpgME. I have
compiled KDE using Konstruct. During the compilation I was able to see
that GnuPG v2.0.6 was compiled with S/MIME support. Yet, when I go to
configure this in Kmail, I see the following message:

While scanning for SMIME support in backend GpgME:
GPGME was compiled without support for S/MIME.

Can anyone direct me in the right direction? Numerous searches on
Google and the like have turned up empty.

Thanks in advance.

Did you build gpgsm support into gpgme? Its an arg to configure.

IIRC, you just need to have gpgsm installed when configuring gpgme.
Then S/MIME support is automatically added to gpgme.

Best

I do not have special flags as Konstruct determined those for me.

Looking at ./configure --help, I see the following:

--disable-gpgsm do not build the gpgsm program

I would assume that if I do not use that option, gpgsm would be compiled
in? I see no option to explicitly include that support.

I have a gpgsm binary in /opt/kde/3.5.8/bin.

One thing I picked up on that may be causing me issues is:

: riddler 18#; ./gpgme-config --get-gpgsm
no

The binary for gpgme-config is in the same directory as gpgsm, so I'm
not sure why it wouldn't be able to find it.

Yes. That's it. I wasn't looking in gpgme's source. Thank-you for
pointing that one out.

I just recompiled and removed the --without-gpgsm that Konstruct added.

I'm gathering that Konstruct is assuming that the OS provides
gpgme/gpgsm, but in my case, I need to have that compiled.

Thank-you for your help! I can now configure Kmail w/ S/MIME support.

Yep. Also, since KDE probably is assuming that my OS distributes GPGSM
and GPGME, they add --without-gpgsm in gpgme's Makefile, and
--enable-agent-only in gnupg's Makefile.

My target OS (RHEL 5) does not distribute that (yet), so I need to have
Konstruct compile those two for me.

Thanks for all of the help! I'm all set.

fwiw, gpgme is available in 3rd-party repos, including EPEL:
