Something like
wget ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/contrib/idea.c
wget ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/contrib/rsa.c
gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o /usr/lib/gnupg/idea idea.c
gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o /usr/lib/gnupg/rsa rsa.c
then in your .gnupg/options add a couple of lines like
load-extension idea
load-extension rsa
/usr/lib/gnupg may be wrong for your install. As a hint, I'd expect the
directory would be named gnupg, and a straight install of gnupg-1.0 ought to
have added files like "rndegd", "rndunix", and "tiger" there already.
