Thank you, but no, it doesn't. Or maybe it does and all should work fine
if I only understood some basics... To me it mainly explains how to set
up GPG (which I already have) and the bit from the Sylpheed FAQ to start
installation with ./configure --enable-gpgme.

I tried and uninstalled Sylpheed 0.9.2 as it doesn't work with gpgme.
Then I installed gpgme. I tried the above configure command on an
unpacked 0.9.1 tarball and it took quite some time doing this and that
until this message came:

<console>
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.6... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: Test for GLIB failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.
</console>

I don't know where GLIB was installed, but on trying to install the RPM
it reads "Everything already installed"...

My trivial basic question here is: Where is _my_path_?

> BTW DON'T ignore the bit about reinstalling Sylpheed

I didn't. That's why I don't have a working e-mail client on Linux right
now... Good thing I can use The Bat! on Windows, which makes e-mailing a
real joy to me. Sylpheed might be able to compete with it, whereas KMail
doesn't. ;o)

I see, it's the developer's choice, and so can be anywhere. OK. *S*

Thanks for your input - I'll keep on learning! :o)
