Almost anything that you compile yourself is installed to /usr/local by 
default. /usr is reserved for installed packages. Installing 
self-compiled packages to /usr is a bad idea because those 
self-compiled packages will be overwritten as soon as you install a 
pre-compiled version of the same package. OTOH, pre-compiled packages 
are never installed to /usr/local.

To be precise: gpgme was looking for /usr/bin/gpg (probably because 
that's were gpg was to be found when gpgme was built).
