Avoid this by invoking the configure command below with ABI=32 ./configure ... Prepare GMP for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-cxx --enable-mpbsd The meaning of the new configure options: --enable-cxx This parameter enables C++ support --enable-mpbsd This builds the Berkeley MP compatibility library Compile the package: make The test suite for GMP in this section is considered critical. Do not skip it under any circumstances. Test the results: make check 2>&1 | tee gmp-check-log Ensure that all 166 tests in the test suite passed. Check the results by issuing the following command: awk '/tests passed/{total+=$2} ; END{print total}' gmp-check-log Install the package: make install If desired, install the documentation: mkdir -v /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; cp -v doc/{isa_abi_headache,configuration} doc/*.html \ /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; Contents of GMP Installed Libraries Installed directory libgmp.{a,so}, libgmpxx.{a,so}, and libmp.{a,so} /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; Short Descriptions libgmp Contains precision math functions. libgmp libgmpxx Contains C++ precision math functions. libgmpxx libmp Contains the Berkeley MP math functions. libmp
