Hi Bill,

here is the relevant part of your config.txt:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

As you can see, your C++ compiler (/net/whistler/auto/users/tovrea/local/sol2/bin/g++)
is not finding symbols that belong to the standard library (libstdc++).
This might mean the compiler has not been properly installed.

What happens if you try to compile and link by hand the program that configure
is using, that is:

#include <gmpxx.h>
#include <climits>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>

#if __GNU_MP_VERSION < 4 || (__GNU_MP_VERSION == 4 && __GNU_MP_VERSION_MINOR < 1) || (__GNU_MP_VERSION == 4 && __GNU_MP_VERSION_MINOR == 1 && __GNU_MP_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL < 3)
#GMP version 4.1.3 or higher is required
#endif

int
main() {
   std::string header_version;
   {
     std::ostringstream s(header_version);
     s << __GNU_MP_VERSION << "." << __GNU_MP_VERSION_MINOR;
     // Starting from GMP version 4.3.0, the gmp_version variable
     // always contains three parts.  In previous versions the
     // patchlevel was omitted if it was 0.
     if (__GNU_MP_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL != 0
         || __GNU_MP_VERSION > 4
         || (__GNU_MP_VERSION == 4 && __GNU_MP_VERSION_MINOR >= 3))
       s << "." << __GNU_MP_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL;
     header_version = s.str();
   }

   std::string library_version = gmp_version;

   if (header_version != library_version) {
     std::cerr
       << "GMP header (gmp.h) and library (ligmp.*) version mismatch:\n"
       << "header gives " << header_version << ";\n"
       << "library gives " << library_version << "." << std::endl;
     return 1;
   }

   if (sizeof(mp_limb_t)*CHAR_BIT != GMP_LIMB_BITS
       || GMP_LIMB_BITS != mp_bits_per_limb) {
     std::cerr
       << "GMP header (gmp.h) and library (ligmp.*) bits-per-limb mismatch:\n"
       << "header gives " << __GMP_BITS_PER_MP_LIMB << ";\n"
       << "library gives " << mp_bits_per_limb << ".\n"
       << "This probably means you are on a bi-arch system and\n"
       << "you are compiling with the wrong header or linking with\n"
       << "the wrong library." << std::endl;
     return 1;
   }

   mpz_class n("3141592653589793238462643383279502884");
   return 0;
}

And, if that fails, what happens if you compile and link
by hand a simple "Hello world!" C++ program, like

#include <iostream>

int
main() {
   std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
}

All the best,

     Roberto
