This is something which hit me when I built sage-5.10.beta4 but it is not specific to that release.
I upgraded my systems's version of mpir, mpfr, flint and ntl, and installed them all in /usr/local/. When building mpir I use the --enable-gmpcompat option so that the library which gets inslatted into /usr/local/lib is called libgmp. Then I have to do something slightly complicated when building mpfr (following intructions in mpfr's INSTALL file) as otherwise it will find the older gmp in /usr/lib and that will not work. After doing all the above, successfully (for example I can configure and build eclib using all those newly installed components) I found I could not build Sage without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib, otherwise it almost immediately gives up saying that it cannot find libgmp. Did I do something wrong? John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
