Thanks for the response Rick.

Trying both ways didn't work. When I force the RPM to install and then
try to run PGP it gives an error

pgp: relocation error: pgp: undefined symbol: __eh_pc

Downloaded the source from the pgpi site and tried to run the build.sh
from there and it also gave me a spectacular multi-line error and then
quit. Error shown was:

g++ -g -O2 -g  main.o args.o pgp.o getopt.o fileio.o config.o

-lnsl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lPGPui
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [pgp] Error 1

So for now, as someone suggested in the Fedora list, the option is to
run GPG and hope that it really is as compatible as everyone says it
is.

Thank you for your help!
