When trying to open a pgp signed message with thunderbird 7, an error message is shown saying that gpg cannot be started. These two error messages are in the error log: Failed to load native module at path '/usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libipc.so': (80004005) /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libipc.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Failed to load native module at path '/usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libenigmime.so': (80004005) /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libenigmime.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden The message sais: "cannot open shared object".

I just realized that this only happens if thunderbird is opened via an X remote connection. When opened locally thunderbird + enigmail work as expected.
I also notice that enigmail support has been dropped with thunderbird 7. This is set as uncompatible with this version (!x11-plugins/enigmail is specified in the ebuild). Does anybody know how to solve it ?

Indeed but this is not working. The enigmail menu has disappeared and when I click on the preference buttons for enigmail in the extensions list, here is what I get an XML error about an entity not defined in chrome://enigmail/content/pref-enigmail.xul: <description>&enigmail.keepCryptoSettingsForReply.tooltip;</description>

Maybe your USE flags differ from mine? I can build and test it on a 2nd machine, however.
Your use flags are similar to mine. Only linguas differs. However, CFLAGS are not the same. Here is what I have: mail-client/thunderbird-7.0.1-r1 was built with the following: USE="alsa crashreporter crypt dbus ipc libnotify lightning (multilib) startup-notification -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -gconf -mozdom -system-sqlite -wifi" LINGUAS="fr -ar -ca -cs -da -de -en -en_GB -en_US -es -es_AR -es_ES -et -eu -fi -fy -fy_NL -ga -ga_IE -he -hu -is -it -ja -ko -lt -nb -nb_NO -nl -nn -nn_NO -pl -pt -pt_BR -pt_PT -ru -si -sk -sl -sq -sv -sv_SE -tr -uk -zh_TW" CFLAGS="-pipe -march=core2 -mtune=generic -Wno-return-type -w -mno-avx" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -march=core2 -mtune=generic -Wno-return-type -w -mno-avx"
I seem to be encountering the same error though my circumstances seem to differ slightly. Unlike Thomas, I encounter this problem when I run Thunderbird locally. I too have thunderbird-7.0.1 installed (with the ipc and crypt use flag among others). For almost every action in Thunderbird, I get two errors: 1. Could not start the gpg-agent program which is needed for your GnuPG version 2.0.17. 2. Enigmail: Error in accessing Enigmail service To permanently avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall Enigmail. Click on the Help button for more details. These errors appear to arise from Enigmail's inability to start gpg-agent. Note that in my setup, I have not independently started "gpg-agent --daemon". If I do start "gpg-agent --daemon" with the appropriate environmental variables set when starting Thunderbird, I do not encounter this problem (probably because Enigmail won't need to start gpg-agent if it's already running). (Perhaps this is why Thomas only encounters this problem when he runs Thunderbird remotely: because he otherwise has gpg-agent already started). Starting gpg-agent myself seems like a viable workaround, but I would prefer to have Thunderbird/Enigmail automatically start it when needed. I also see the following errors in my error log: Failed to load native module at path '/usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libipc.so': (80004005) /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libipc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to load native module at path '/usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libenigmime.so': (80004005) /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libenigmime.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (And they're right too; those files don't exist). However, libenigmime.so seems to be getting loaded a few more times because I get the following two messages too: While registering XPCOM module /usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libenigmime-x86_64-gcc3.so, trying to re-register CID '{847b3a21-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}' already registered by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libenigmime-x86_64-gcc3.so.

I have the same problem with enigmail not being able to start gpg-agent. This happened after thunderbird-7.0.1-r1 became stable on amd64. When starting gpg-agent and thunderbird from a shell, enigmail works fine. $ eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) $ thunderbird Before the update, it was not necessary to start gpg-agent manually.

Could not start the gpg-agent program which is needed for your GnuPG version 2.0.17. 2. Enigmail: Error in accessing Enigmail service To permanently avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall Enigmail. Click on the Help button for more details. Furthermore, when gpg-agent is started before Thunderbird, Enigmail appears to function as intended (encryption, signing, key-management, etc.)
François, (fr_FR here), please try the following : 1. rebuild thunderbird with LINGUAS="fr en" 2. start thunderbird with : $ thunderbird -UILocale en OpenPGP menu should be here.
Indeed, it works in English. However, in previous versions, it used to work also in french. I understand English but I would prefer to use thunderbird in my mother language. I guess I need to open a new bug to explain that enigmail only works in english.
