freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - BZIP2 Support in the Base system

The FreeBSD 4.x (4.8-STABLE) has contributed sources for BZIP2 in the base
system
under /usr/src/contrib/bzip2.
My problem is that I am not succeeding in building these sources for some
strange
reason. Some apps that I run would do well if I could get to install these
success-
fully.

If there is anyone has succeeded, I'd highly appreciate the steps they went
through
to get bzip2 to build.

Thanks

-Wash

Oh, I am a C programmer and I'm okay

And when it works, I shout hoo-ray
	Oh, I am a C programmer and I'm okay

Since bzip2 is part of the base system and has been for a couple of
releases you already have bzip2 installed if you have FreeBSD 4.8
installed.

How are you trying to build bzip2 and in what way are you not
succeeding?
