...or how about...

nohup ./my_program >/dev/null 2>error.log &

that is, if you don't care about standard output... but just wanna see stderr messages.

if you intend to do this a lot... or permanently with this script, you may want to consider adding within the script something like this:

exec 1>/dev/null
exec 2>error.log (or exec 2>&1 if you want no output at all)

gpg-error-config [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir] DESCRIPTION
The gpg-error-config tool is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the libgpg-error library. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library. --exec-prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the exec installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library. --prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if the --exec-prefix option is not specified. --version Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output. EXAMPLES
