We need some more information. You ,ay want to start gpg thi way:

  gpg -v --debug 1024 --gen-key

Has the agent been started? Try

  gpg-connect-agent 'getinfo version' /bye

If gpg still fails, the easiest way to track it down is by running it under a
debugger, or check the core file. Also try GnuPG 2.0.19 which have fixed the
problem
