S/MIME support in Kmail v1.9.7

All:

I hope this post is appropriate for this list.

I'm having problems getting Kmail to recognize S/MIME support.  From
what I've read, it all depends on the installation of GpgME.  I have
compiled KDE using Konstruct.  During the compilation I was able to see
that GnuPG v2.0.6 was compiled with S/MIME support.  Yet, when I go to
configure this in Kmail, I see the following message:

While scanning for SMIME support in backend GpgME:
GPGME was compiled without support for S/MIME.

Can anyone direct me in the right direction?  Numerous searches on
Google and the like have turned up empty.

Thanks in advance.
