Newbie question: Where do I put my trusted key?

Hi,

I'm new to gpg and I just installed gpg and gpg-agent for Mac OS 10.5.6.
Whenever I run the gpg command, I'm prompted for the passphrase. Is there
any skip that if I am running the command as a particular user for a
particular key? Here is an example interaction below ...

ocho:~ dalvarado$ /opt/local/bin/gpg --trust-model always --sign --force-mdc
-e -a --homedir /Users/dalvarado/.gnupg --recipient 23AC19FF

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Dave Alvarado <dalvarado[at]www.colorado.gov>"
2048-bit RSA key, ID A34ED8DD, created 2009-09-30

gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
Enter passphrase:

What is also odd is that I'm told, "gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this
session" but I just installed the agent. Any help in troubleshooting is
appreciated, - Dave

Dave,

I'm afraid the key words in your e-mail are '/opt/local/bin/gpg'.
They suggest that you have installed gpg2 via Darwin Ports.

If it is so, Darwin Ports install a version of gpg-agent and pinentry
(required by gpg-agent) that are not compatible with MacOSX.

Please check the MacGPG2 Project at:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/>
The current installer for NacGPG2 2.0.12 is available. It will install a
Mac native pinentry application.

An updated version for v2.0.13 will be available in a few days (work
and broken SAN permitting).
