10 I passed the command you mentioned and gpg-agent is running.

15 Actually I was so desperate that even restarted the system. Doesn't help.
16
17 I followed the instructions on this page
18 http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html#gnupg
19 When I pass the command "echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg" as
20 mentioned on the page, I get an error that says "gpg: problem with the agent
21 - disabling agent use". Seems as though gpg-agent is not allowing
22 connections. Anyways to solve this problem. I am completely stumped.
