Re^3: Replcing Math::GMP with Math::BigInt

Depending on whether you have 5.8 or 5.6 run one of these commands. When you get the prompt to install the DLL install it somewhere in your path.

#5.8

C:\>ppm install http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/Math-G
+MP.ppd
Installing package 'http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/Ma
+th-GMP.ppd
'...
Error installing package 'http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/
+5.8/Math-G
MP.ppd': Read a PPD for 'http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5
+.8/Math-GM
P.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-mul
+ti-thread)

# OK so I don't run 5.8, and need to get the 5.6 ppd.....

C:\>ppm install http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/Math-GMP.p

You don't need a PPM and there is not one AFAIK (owing to Math::GMP). Get it from CPAN - Net::SSH::Perl and read A Guide To Installing Modules if you don't know what to do with it. cheers tachyon	[reply]
