that's probably it:

root at mail:~# gpg --version | grep ^Compression:
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2
root at mail:~# /home/webkey/bin/gpg --version | grep ^Compression:
Compression: Uncompressed


so this was produced following the online instructions for setting up 
WKS (as far as building your own current gpg). should i not do that? or 
what can i do to enable or disable compression? Thanks for your help.
