Hi -
By default on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS gnupg needs to write to .gnupg in the home directory of the user running PHP (so for a web site this is www-data). You might need to make a ~/.gnupg for www-data and chown/chmod it correctly or everything will fail.

Here are instructions for how to resolve the issue where you encounter this error:
/usr/include/gpgme.h:80:2: error: #error GPGME was compiled with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS = 64, please see the section "Largefile support (LFS)" in the GPGME manual.
This is a result of the gnupg extension currently lacking largefile support. The solution is fairly simple.
pecl download gnupg
tar -zxf gnupg-1.3.2.tgz
cd gnupg-1.3.2
Open the file config.m4 in an editor, and add "AC_SYS_LARGEFILE" to a new line at the very end of the file, then save.
phpize
./configure
make
make install
Now simply add extension=gnupg.so to your php.ini, and the extension should work.

After spending so much time I could only install it on Linux and not Windows. There is very little instructions on the net about installation of this module, so I am going to write a small instructions that should help a straightforward installation on Linux without so much trouble.
Step 1: you will need a C++ compiler on your machine. For being sure try this command in the terminal:
<?php
sudo apt-get install g++
?>
Obviously you need GnuPG itself, so try:
<?php
sudo apt-get install gnupg
?>
Step 2: you will need "Libgpg-Error" downloaded and installed on your machine.
2-1: Download the code from http://www.gnupg.org/download/#libgpg-error
2-2: Extract it to a directory. In the terminal, change the directory to the Libgpg-error directory.
2-3: Configure the package for building and installation with below command:
<?php
./configure
?>
2-4: In the same directory make it with below command:
<?php
sudo make
?>
2-5: In the same directory install it with below command:
<?php
sudo make install
?>
Step 3: you will need "GnuPG Made Easy" (GPGME) downloaded and installed on your machine. Some sources will tell you that you can "apt-get install" it, but actually you cannot. So do it like the latter:
3-1: Download the source code from http://www.gnupg.org/download/#gpgme
3-2: Extract it to a directory. In the terminal, change the directory to the GPGME directory.
3-3: Configure the package for building and installation with below command:
<?php
./configure
?>
3-4: In the same directory make it with below command:
<?php
sudo make
?>
3-5: In the same directory install it with below command:
<?php
sudo make install
?>
Step 4: Given that you have a LAMP server already and have php installed, you will need "pear" and "php source codes". To add them use below commands:
<?php
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
sudo apt-get install php-pear
?>
Step 5: Now you can install GNU Privacy Guard for php using PECL command:
<?php
sudo pecl install gnupg
?>
