as i have been in your shoes only a week ago, i will let aside this
ignorant and dumb question of yours as one of a naiive soul in desperate
need 4 help, and even go out of my own way to even answer it:

i got my copy of "idea.c" and "rsa.c" (and even "rsaref.c") at the very
gnupg site, where they lay plain in the open.  download and read the
source.  stop and copy where it says "gcc -fPIC -shared -O2 <src>.c" and do
so.  this simple statement will compile the files to generate position
independant code (PIC) suitable for use as shared objects.  then edit your
.gnupg/options to read "load-extension rsa" or "load-extension idea", copy
the output of the compile runs ("idea" and "rsa") to
"/usr/local/lib/gnupg/".

after that, "gpg --version" will show you the light!
