I ran the Enigmail wizard but it seems to hang whatever initial selection I make - but curiously after about 10 minutes when I've given up expecting anything to happen, I suddenly find a setup dialogue with preferences and showing that gpg has been found in /usr/bin/gpg. This seems to enable enigmail to locate gpg and it all works.
