mpfr

I'm trying to get the package 'bigfloat' installed on my Mac (OS X 10.8.4), and I'm running into some issues. The package 'bigfloat' requires two other dependencies: 1) mpfr, and 2) gmp. I've installed gmp here: http://gmplib.org/ <-- This seemed to work fine. But installing mpfr is not as easy ( http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr.html#Installing-MPFR ). They say to simply ./configure, make, and make install to get it going, but I get this error: checking for gmp.h... no configure: error: gmp.h can't be found, or is unusable. I've googled around and people suggest specifying paths in the

I downloaded GCC 4.5 from http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.5.0/ but when I try to setup / build I am getting below error: Linux:>~/shared_scripts/bin/gcc/gcc-4.5.0 1040> /x/home/prakash_satya/shared_scripts/bin/gcc/gcc-4.5.0/configure CC="gcc -m64" --prefix=/x/home/prakash_satya/shared_scripts/bin/gcc/gcc-4.5.0 --with-gmp-lib=/usr/lib64 --with-mpfr-lib=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking

As I understand, I should first install GMP. The only tutorial I found for this purpose is http://cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/gmp/ and when I reach step 3: "Open gmp.dsw (gmp.vcproj for VC++.Net) to build GMP" I get many building errors. You can download it here: http://www.f2h.co.il/msbz68nzzip . There are many errors like "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'fib_table.h': No such file or directory". Is there an other tutorial? What should I do? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7. LCFactorization I met similar problem and had just resolved it by download precompiled MPIR and MPFR

How do I install GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) piece by piece, using the current version, using the correct versions of dependencies, not using a package manager (like yum, rpm, apt, dpkg), and not using shared libraries? Typical developers will likely want to install GCC the typical way, use your package manager (yum, rpm, apt, dpkg, port, brew, etc.) or follow the instructions here ( http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC ). My question is how to install GCC piece by piece, without shared libraries. I want a fully-independent GCC that can be moved around my system without using any shared
