    Dear Amy

    Not sure if you are aware that Scott Klement discussed this in details here :  Using GnuPG for PGP on i at  https://www.scottklement.com/gnupg/Using%20GnuPG%20for%20PGP%20on%20i.html

    Scott's article is true but old and you don't have to build and install it anymore!

    yum install gnupg2 will do it.

    Thank you both for the information.  I really appreciate it.  I had seen Scott's article, but since it is old, I wasn't sure if it still applied.
