BZIP2 algorithm isn't supported after compiling gnupg from source code

Hello.

I downloaded GnuPG source and checked its signature (under Windows):
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.2.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.2.tar.bz2.sig

Then I rebooted into recently installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r0a system
and built program from source:

$ cd /home/[user]/
$ bunzip2 gnupg-1.4.2.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf gnupg-1.4.2.tar
$ cd ./gnupg-1.4.2
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

After these steps command "gpg --version" displays the following:

gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.2
[...]
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB

Before compiling (there was default gnupg installation from Debian
package) output of "gpg --version" was:

gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.1
[...]
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2

Windows version (installed from official binaries) also supports BZIP2:

gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.2
[...]
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2

Thus BZIP2 algorithm isn't supported after compiling GnuPG 1.4.2 from
source code under Linux.
How can I enable BZIP2 support using last version of GPG under Linux?

Regards and thanks for advice
