Description Jakub Jelinek 2003-09-14 19:58:40 UTC

Seems GMP is built without MPFR, which from quick look is fairly useful
(e.g. I had to write something like that myself a few years ago for a bunch
of functions), plus Gfortran might want to use it:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-09/msg00911.html
It might mean just adding --enable-mpfr to GMP's configure, though I haven't
tested it.

Should be done with release -7.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2004-08-10 16:16:12 UTC

It was changed after RHEL3.  FC1/FC2/rawhide gmp has MPFR.
As RHEL3 gmp is AFAIK not changing and not very likely to change,
the easiest way is just to grab say FC2 gmp and install it.
