I have gpg installed and set up, I can use it successfully: | Code: | $ gpg --version

I then got the fireGPG firefox extension from http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org/, which is supposed to let you GPG encrypt email seamlessly in gmail. However I keep getting the error: | Code: | | Error: FireGPG cannot access GPG. Please check that GPG is installed and that the path specified in the options is correct. |
Just to be safe, I have changed the path to an absolute path (/usr/bin/gpg) in the options dialog, but it doesn't change anything.
I even uninstalled the extension, then downloaded the newest version via subversion: | Code: | | svn co svn://svn.tuxfamily.org/svnroot/firegpg/firegpg |
then installed it without any problems... however I still get the error and am unable to use gpg in gmail.
I'm don't actually need to sign/encrypt that badly, so I don't need advice on other ways to do that (I know)... and I know I could use thunderbird/fireGPG, etc... I just wondered if anybody else can get this working?
Thanks in advance,
-Doug |

So there have been quite a few views to this post... I imagine a few people are using fireGPG and a few other people have tried it after they read about it. I would just like to know, is it working for you?
gpg is installed in the default directory and I have a folder in my home directory called .gnupg, but I can't remember if that was installed with gnupg or if I transferred it over from a backup of my home directory. Hmm... anyone with any hints whatsoever? |

This happened to me, I had a separate /tmp partition mounted noexec which was preventing firegpg from running some scripts.
When I removed the noexec restriction on the /tmp partition it started working. |
