[PPL-devel] Compile error on last versions

[Dario Meloni]

That was helpfull. I have installed gcc 4.2.2 and had no problem on  
that. To test the my environment works correctly i am trying to  
compile version 0.9 and then i'll try the beta version which i need.

I had some problems with the recognition of the gmp version. The  
script wasn't able to determine the right version stating that mine  
was prior of 4.1.3 and had the cxx interface disbled, i have version  
4.2.2.
So i have deleted the test in the file ac_check_gmp.m4 and made it  
pass in any case, this was working with gcc 4.0.1 but now i get this  
error

checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking how to link with libgmp... -L/opt/local/lib -lgmp
checking how to link with libgmpxx... -lgmpxx -L/opt/local/lib -lgmp
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... yes  <-- hacked  
test
checking for mp_limb_t... yes
checking size of mp_limb_t... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof  
(mp_limb_t)

GMP is installed with a 32bit ABI and with --enable-cxx flag in /opt/ 
local
I am using this configure script (gmp and gcc are installed in the / 
opt/local path)
./configure --prefix=/opt/julia --with-libgmpxx-prefix=/opt/local -- 
with-cxx=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2

I think i'll give up installing the library on mac os x, i can think  
where the error is, if in gmp, the compilers or the library
