(solved) Problem with kmail and gpg-agent

Hi,

I have a problem to see incoming encrypted e-mails. Previously, I had set-up kmail tu use gpg and it worked fine, I could send encrypted mails end decrypt them.
Then, I installed gpg-agent to avoid typing my password every time and since, I'm unable to see encrypted e-mails.
I have a message that gpg-agent is unable to decrypt the message. Seems to be a problem of password (bad passphrase).
OK, gpg-agent is not configured well but now to configure it, I would need to install pinentry, here start the problem:

...
...

Can someone help me to install pinentry and configure gpg-agent?

Thank you in advance.

RE: Problem with kmail and gpg-agent

Well, I am a bit further than before but still...

I would like to Configure GnuPG to use gpg-agent with kmail, following these instructions:

(
once. In all cases, add this to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:

use-agent

Add a file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf with the following contents:

pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800

(replace the path to pinentry-qt depending on where the distribution installed it).

Before using gpg, you need to start gpg-agent:

eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"
)

I have installed pinentry with fink (fink install pinentry). The process installed pinentry-curse in /sw/bin, but not pinentry-qt.

Can someone help me to configure gpg-agent properly? I don't know what I can do now.
