Just compile bzip2 from the source. Thats what I did and everything was fine.

The bzip2 source is a mess that requires much customization to build as the
author hasn't the resources to put it together right. It builds fine in Solaris,
not so fine on the Mac, for example. I imagine there are problems with BSD, too,
and BSD is the basis of OS X. Many of us don't have the time to spend dinking
with the code to get what may or may not be a reliable build.
The folks at MacPorts and elsewhere have it sorted out, but since it is an OS X
intrinsic, Apple needs to step up and provide the fix. It makes the CIO happy to
not have unsupported versions installed, too. I think it was probably a bad idea
for Apple to make bzip2 a big part of OS X given the scale of the resource.
A person might infer I don't like bzip2 (the product) and they'd be right.
