gmp-4.2.4 installed finebut when configuring guile i still get

./configure
… …
checking whether sethostname is declared… yes
checking whether strncasecmp is declared… yes
checking for library containing crypt… none required
checking for i… _Complex_I
checking whether csqrt is usable… yes
checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp… no
configure: error: GNU MP not found, see README
davidkierz-macbook:guile-1.8.6 davidkierz$

any ideas folks?

The Guile folks, in their infinite wisdom, now make the GNU Bignum
library a depedency for installing guile. Configure is barfing
'cause you don’t have it. Here’s info about GNU Bignum:

http://gmplib.org/

You’ll need to install it, and then try compiling again. Of course,
GNU Bignum has it’s own set of dependencies you’ll need to work
through…

Have fun,

other packages.)

Are you installing on Linux or OSX? Which version? It looks like
you’re installing from source by hand … why not use DMG / PKG /
DEB / MacPorts / Fink or whatever? - MLD

sorry i already do have gmp-4.2.4 installed, thats what’s required
right?

davidkierz-macbook:gmp-4.2.4 davidkierz$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/ | grep
gmp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 274064 Jan 23 22:56 libgmp.3.4.4.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Jan 23 22:56 libgmp.3.dylib ->

is there some reason guile is not seeing the libgmp files?
