>Description:
Elm tries to execl("pgp", ...), which doesn't work unless you
have a link to pgp in each directory you might run elm from.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install elm package, try to use ^K to send a public key.
>Fix:
Either:
a) change the pre-configure script to specify
pgp and pgp_path as "/usr/pkg/bin/pgp".
or:
b) change the execl() to execlp()
choice b) has the advantage that one can use a a pgp other than
the pkgsrc one.
