You need to create it in the homedir.  

  gpg --versions

shows the homedir, or use

  gpgconf --list-dirs

which also has a homedir line.  Then go to that directory, and put a
the lines

verbose
allow-preset-passphrase

into a file named gpg-agent.conf.  (verbose is not really needed but
might be helpful).  Then kill gpg-agent :

  gpgconf --kill gpg-agent

and things should work.
