Pinentry problem with different home dir

[Falko Strenzke]

I am trying to run GnuPG with a different home directory by setting the environment variable GNUPGHOME. However, in that case, for instance when trying to generate a key, in that case I get the error

gpg: DBG: chan_4 <- ERR 67108949 No pinentry <GPG Agent>
gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry
Key generation failed: No pinentry

I wonder what makes the difference. The only relevant files I found in my normal home directory are those under ~/.gnupg. But there seems to be no agent configuration file in that directory. Can anyone give me an advice what I can try to get the GnuPG Agent pinentry working with different home directory specified via GNUPGHOME?
