[gobolinux-users] SignProgram, gnupg and gpg-agent

Hi all,

every time I compile a program I'm asked for my password to unlock the 
secret key gpg generated to sign the packed recipe. The fact is that 
every time I get the following message:

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Daniele Maccari <daniele.maccari at gmail.com>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 70B1E2CD, created 2007-12-04

can't connect to `/Users/macco/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or 
directory

and then the pinentry window appears. So I'm wondering if and how 
gpg-agent should be configured in order to use it and (as I've 
understood it) enter the password only once in a session.
I added the string `eval gpg-agent --daemon` to my ~/.xinitrc file, but 
it seems to put the S.gpg-agent temp file in the /tmp dir rather than in 
my home.

Thanks in advance
