in reply to Could't find gmp library after installing Perl Module

What caused machine A fail to find the gmp library?

Maybe you don't have the gmp library installed. Or you do have it installed, but in a non-standard location...

Have you built it yourself, or did you install a pre-built package (e.g. libgmp3c2 + libgmp3-dev, for Debian) for your distro?

    Is it possible to install libgmp3c2 libgmp3-dev this package for RHEL 5.0

      Presumably, the packages are named differently (my guess would be something like gmp and gmp-devel)... You could try 

      yum search gmp

      [download]

      or 

      yum list '*gmp*'

      [download]

      to get a listing of potential candidates, and then "yum info <package-name>" to get package details.

      (presuming you have yum, that is, which I think comes with RHEL 5 — but I'm no Red Hat expert...)

      Note that you'll need the development (-devel) package, for the header files, in addition to the regular package containing the compiled library itself.

      The gmp library usually builds easily on linux, so you could just grab the source from http://gmplib.org and build it yourself if you like.

      Just unpack the source and run './configure && make && make check'. If all goes well then run 'sudo make install'.
