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

Hi everyone,
I created a Linux application that uses GnuPGME. The app is started by a server process, and as a result is having troubles accessing PGP keyrings. This is probably a permissions thing, as I installed GnuPG as the root user; the API (GnuPGME) is probably looking for the keyring at /root/.gnupg/.
FYI, if I run my app as root on the command line, everything works fine; however, I need to start this process with a server. I am currently looking at three options: 1) update the GnuPGME keyring functions that I use to allow me to specify arbitrary keyrings of my choice, 2) investigate what user process is running my app, and create a home directory for it with keyrings and all, or 3)investigate if there is some undocumented function in GnuPGME that I can use to help me specify the keyring of my choice.
Any help/advice provided by anyone would be greatly appreciated.
