When trying to encrypt a file, using M-x epa-encrypt-file, (Emacs 24.4, OSX 10.6.8); I get the message:
"Searching for program: no such file or directory gpg?

What is wrong?
How can I fix it?

That means that Emacs can't find the gpg binary in your `exec-path'
(that's Emacs' version of the "PATH" environment variable).

You presumably need to install Gnu Privacy Guard on your system.

On Mac OS X in particular, I've had good luck with the Homebrew system
to install GnuPG and other useful tools.  I even install Emacs with it:

`brew reinstall emacs --HEAD --use-git-head --cocoa --srgb --with-gnutls --with-imagemagick && brew linkapps'
