Sounds suspiciously like you don't. Try M-x show-message-log, or setting
`debug-on-error t' and see if you can work out what it's failing to
load.

You do have, er, gpg.el from the Gnus contrib directory in the loadpath,
yes?

What is the value of `mml2015-verify-function'? That controls what
crypto support package is attempted to be used.

Read the GPG `options' file. They have comments at the bottom of it
indicating how to do this.

Given the error you report, though, this wont help 'til after you fix
the loading thing.
