Wait.  This is normal.  After 10-15 seconds it'll go away. 

See the README.  It is possible to recompile GnuPG with a random noise 
entropy generator, which will get rid of this, but usually this is just a 
minor annoyance. 

You can also try smaller keys.  GnuPG usually runs out of entropy only when 
generating large keys.
