Problems with Math::GMP on Mac OS X

[William Banas]

I'm getting the same error when I attempt to compile (i.e "mex") the  
MP toolbox for Matlab:

EDU>> mex gmp_prototype.c -I./ ./libmpfr.a ./libgmp.a
In file included from gmp_prototype.c:2:
mpfr.h:231: warning: use of `long double' type; its size may change  
in a future release
mpfr.h:231: warning: (Long double usage is reported only once for  
each file.
mpfr.h:231: warning: To disable this warning, use -Wno-long-double.)
ld: ./libgmp.a(popcount.o) has local relocation entries in non- 
writable section (__TEXT,__text)

     mex: link of 'gmp_prototype.mexmac' failed.

??? Error using ==> mex
Unable to complete successfully

As I am a bit of a neophyte when it comes to GCC and compiling in the  
Unix environment, I'd appreciate a bit of hand-holding regarding your  
solution. I don't know how to build a shareable library and I'm not  
quite sure what to do with the patch you list.

Specifically, does this have something to do with the "-mdynamic-no- 
pic" option? Is there a configuration file that I should change to  
remove the "-mdynamic-no-pic" option?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Bill
