OK, so here's what I did.

1. Downloaded, configured and compiled libgmp 4.2.1 using gcc 4.0.1 (the latest version from XCode).

2. "make check" on libgmp. No errors.

3. Installed libgmp (make install), again, no errors.

4. Tried to install Math::GMP using CPAN. This fails:

5. Back to libgmp, make distclean

6. Switch gcc to version 3.3

7. Repeat configure/make cycle (no errors)

8. make check (no errors)

9. Tried to install Math::GMP. Same result as above.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information. I'll be glad to help.

Thanks,

Peter.
