-Here is how to use gpg-agent in a simple way. **Note:** you may need to use 
'gpg2' instead of 'gpg' ::
-
- eval `gpg-agent --daemon` # start the daemon
- gpg2 --sign -b --use-agent file.tar.gz # asked passphrase
- gpg2 --sign -b --use-agent file2.tar.gz # did not ask passphrase
Here is how to use gpg-agent in a simple way.

 gpg-agent --daemon > ~/.gpg-agent-info # start the daemon
 . ~/.gpg-agent-info # load settings (can be done from another terminal)
 gpg --sign -b --use-agent file.tar.gz # asked passphrase
 gpg --sign -b --use-agent file2.tar.gz # did not ask passphrase

-And here are some details on how I (Sylvain) manually compiled it on my old 
laptop running Red Hat GNU/Linux 7.3:
-
-1. First, I installed some dependencies. I installed them from source.
-
- * gettext v0.14.1 (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.1.tar.gz)
-
-  Here is how I installed it. I will use a terser description in the rest of 
this document ('$' is the prompt)::
-
-   $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.1.tar.gz
-   $ tar zxf gettext-0.14.1.tar.gz
-   $ cd gettext-0.14.1
-   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
-   $ make install # as root
-
- I had to manually overwrite /bin/gettext::
-
-  $ ln -fs /usr/bin/gettext /bin
