You need libbz2 devel files (and BTW that's just one hurdle, you also need xz, pcre etc.). If you have issues installing with yum, then it' likely a problem with your setup (i.e. you're trying an upgrade instead of installing the versions present in your system). Just fetch the devel versions that correspond to the libraries installed in the system.

Cheers,
Simo
