Problems finding keyring with GnuPGME

[harry_b at mm.st]

Hi,

this should be quite easy - just set the environment variable GNUPGHOME 
before you start your process and all should be fine.

It defaults to '$HOME/.gnupg' I think but you can set it to whatever you 
want. The directory should not be readable by anybody else than the current 
user.

HTH, Harry
