You need to run "make install" for libgcrypt (as root), do an ldconfig
as the make output indicates and finally  make sure that
/usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.

If libgcrypt-config can not be found, libgcrypt is not installed
properly and thus the other configure scripts rightly can't be run
successfully.
