Dear Saurabh,

I believe the problem is outlined by the following lines in config2.log:

> configure:4731: checking for the GMP library
> configure:4757: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -I/pkgs/GMP-4.1.3/include   conftest.cc -L/pkgs/GMP-4.1.3/lib -lgmpxx -lgmp  >&5

It seems the dynamic linker has not been instructed about
the location where you have installed your version of GMP.
Assuming that the directory `/pkgs/GMP-4.1.3/lib' includes
a file called `libgmpxx.so.3', the quickest way to rectify
the situation is probably to add the directory
`/pkgs/GMP-4.1.3/lib' to the environment variable
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.  If your are using the bash shell,
you can add the line

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pkgs/GMP-4.1.3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to your $HOME/.bash_profile and, at your next login,
everything should work as expected.
If not, please come back to us.
All the best,

     Roberto
