Please help, i am not able to solve a problem. I am trying to install gmp and mpfr for resolving the libmip problem. I do not get any problem while configuring gmp, but make check and later make install gives the following error. Can any one help me to know why it is coming by seeing below:

Make check

Similarly, while configuring the mpfr..it gives the following error, which could be because the gmp is not installed perhaps?

checking for gmp.h... no
configure: error: gmp.h can't be found, or is unusable.

Please help, i am not able to run tutorial on openfoam because of this, though the ./foamInstallcheck is done without error.

OpenFoam is not as self contained as you might think and the linux build that you have may not be as complete as you might require. Look in your thirdparty folder to see if you have gmp-4.2.4. if not, it is probably on the install disk somewhere or you can download it from the internet.

Hi ..Thanks a lot for your help. It helped me to make some progress with gmp, but i got stuck again with mpfr installation. I was able to install the gmp, using commands shown below. I have gmp-4.2.4 in folder and even mpfr in the same thirdParty. Can you suggest the right commands and right procedure. I am new to all this.

gmp configuration,

./configure --prefix=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gmp-2.2.4 >
make
make check
make install

everything went well...

but, now while installing mpfr using command below, i got some error:
cylon01:/usr6/tab01c/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/mpfr-2.3.2_Src]: ./configure --prefix=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/mpfr-2.3.2 --with-gmp=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gmp-4.2.4

Error is: C compiler cannot create executables (as below)

See `config.log' for more details.

Hi Mussaddeque...To the above post..forgot to add the config.log ..the failure happened like this...
Are there any suggestions?

## ----------- ##
## confdefs.h. ##
## ----------- ##

#define PACKAGE_NAME "MPFR"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "mpfr"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.3.2"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "MPFR 2.3.2"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""

configure: exit 77

Are there any suggestions?

Check to see that you have gcc installed. Usually when installing linux it will ask you whether you want to install developers tools - you may have said no to that, as a result of which gcc (the c complier) did not get installed. You should have gcc on the install disk. if not you can download it from the gnu website.

Good luck
