cannot get sylpheed to do encryption

[Newton Hammet]

SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS:
(Maybe someone has instructions for compiling gpgme...
I don't have a bin executable of 'gpgme' anywhere,
but have all the libs, etc. again see below):

No don't think so ....

this is what is in /usr/bin:

/usr/bin/gpg
/usr/bin/gpg-check
/usr/bin/gpg-encrypt
/usr/bin/gpgkeys_ldap
/usr/bin/gpgkeys_mailto
/usr/bin/gpg-sign
/usr/bin/gpg-sign+encrypt
/usr/bin/gpgsplit
/usr/bin/gpgv
/usr/bin/gpgverify

AND ( 'grep -i gpgm M*' run at the head of the sylpheed source tree ):

Makefile:GPGME_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include
Makefile:GPGME_CONFIG = /usr/local/bin/gpgme-config
Makefile:GPGME_LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lgpgme
Makefile.in:GPGME_CFLAGS = @GPGME_CFLAGS@
Makefile.in:GPGME_CONFIG = @GPGME_CONFIG@
Makefile.in:GPGME_LIBS = @GPGME_LIBS@

/usr/local/include:

gpgme.h

/usr/local/lib:

gnupg
gpgme
libgpgme.a
libgpgme.la
libgpgme.so
libgpgme.so.6
libgpgme.so.6.3.0

/usr/local/lib/gnupg:
rndegd
rndunix
tiger

/usr/local/lib/gpgme:
gpgme-openpgp.a
gpgme-openpgp.la
gpgme-openpgp.so
gpgme-smime.a
gpgme-smime.la
gpgme-smime.so
