You did executed the commands gpg-agent --daemon printed?  Using

 eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)

will do the job in one step.

 if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && \
   kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null; then
     GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info`
     export GPG_AGENT_INFO   
 else
     eval `gpg-agent --daemon`
     echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
 fi

is also a useful snippet for the login profile to start the agent and
to make sure that the socket information are set for all further
shells.
