make check error on gnupg-2.2.15 and gpgme-1.13.0

Description

Hi,

I think these problems were caused by the system configuration and other software, not gnupg itself.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Thunderbird 60.6.1
Enigmail 2.0.11

Was installing latest version and ran into errors when doing 'make check'
Turns out my installation of Ubuntu didn't have the package gnutls-bin installed. I don't know why. I installed it and it fixed the error, but it wasn't an obvious fix based on the error messages.

For GnuPG, the error is: you don't have run-able libntbtls.so in your environment (because of your wrong configuration, perhaps) but you have it to link.
For GPGME, the error is: your linked libgpg-error.so.0 and the one which runs are different (because of your wrong configuration, perhaps).

I think that your procedure to build GnuPG and its friends are not perfect. When you install a library (like libntblts.so or libgpg-error.so), you also need to configure your system so that such a new library can be used at run time.

You can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. please see: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html

For Ubuntu, also see:

Thank you for your response.

I understand the GPGME error better now and the links you provided are helpful.

I think it is possible that the Pretty Easy Privacy (pEp), part of the Enigmail plugin, linked it's own copy of libgpg-error library. I found that file name here:

/home/en/.thunderbird/artb8lrv.default/pepmda/lib/libgpg-error.so.0

pEp also created a new key for one of my email addresses. I don't think I asked it to.
I will need to read more about static and dynamic library linking.

FYI, pEp annoyance was addressed and handled here: https://bugs.debian.org/891882
By this patch: https://sources.debian.org/src/enigmail/2:2.0.11+ds1-1/debian/patches/0002-Avoid-auto-download-of-pEpEngine-Closes-891882.patch/

So, using enigmail in your distribution is better, I suppose.
