I should have mentioned this, but it was a new build of pinentry, too. However, since the README said that pinentry wasn’t required for the build, I built it after I build gpg. Sadly ...

I tried both make distclean and rebuilding gpg, and the same thing with 

./configure --with-pinentry-pgm=`which pinentry`

But no love.

Any other ideas?
