I believe you already fixed this yourself, but the recommended
solution to this problem is to use --with-libgcrypt-prefix to point at
where libgcrypt is installed.  E.g.:

./configure --prefix=path 
--with-libgcrypt-prefix=/afs/lnf.infn.it/user/f/fondi/libgcrypt/

This assumes that /afs/lnf.infn.it/user/f/fondi/libgcrypt/bin contains
the gcrypt-config script, installed by libgcrypt's "make install".
