Friends,

I am trying to install Math-GMP-2.03 which is required if I want to install Net::SSH::Perl which is required for Net::SFTP. I have installed gmp from http://www.swox.com/gmp/ with no problem, but when I go to install Math-GMP-2.03 I get this ...

LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib" gcc  -G -L/usr/local/lib GMP.o  -o blib/a
+rch/auto/Math/GMP/GMP.so   -lgmp  
ld: fatal: file /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to blib/arch/auto
+/Math/GMP/GMP.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Math/GMP/GMP.so] Error 1
[download]

make error!

Have any of you ran into the problem? If so how did you correct it?

Thanks

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
