Description

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, all tarballs installed from source
Not sure why this is caused,
an old version of libgcrypt was only found, even as I installed the newer
version from tarball and libgcrypt-config --version shows the correctly one.

Maybe the installation script could be updated therefore.

echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gpg2.conf && ldconfig -v

works for me.

This is no a bug but a non-proper installation of libgcrypt. In fact the output
of libgcrypt's "make install" shows hints on how to finish the install; also
pointing to ldconfig.

In general it is not easy to install a newer version of a library on a system
which already has an older version of that library.
