Hi all, Configure.pl failed to find the GNU Math Lib (GMP) on my system eventhough it is installed properly (version 4.1.4) . I compiled config/auto/gmp/gmp.in by hand and it returned: 499999500000 1 but expected was: 499999500000 0
Everything seems to be right, except that mpz_fits_slong_p(k) returned "1" instead of "0". Could not find anything usefull to explain what it means. I am on amd64 running Linux.

Yeah. The test is bogus for 64-bit systems. The tested number fits within a 64-bit long. Could you please patch gmp.in and gmp.pl to use some bigger numbers > 64 bit.
Why do you test for that after all ?
I would only check if gmp is installed and that`s it.
I'm not trying to replace gmp's "make check" here, just test if it's working. The second test for mpz_fits_slong was included, because on some BSD there was an old GMP installed, which didn't have this feature.
Obviously this one is wrong for 64-bit systems, so using just bigger numbers is the way to fix it.
