This is not the right way to specify the location of the header file. You 
should have: #include <gmpxx.h>
and then on the command line, you add -I/home/.../include

gmpxx.h includes gmp.h. With what you have shown, the compiler should not 
be able to find gmp.h in /home/.../include. The fact that it does not 
complain means it has found a gmp.h file somewhere, likely some old 
version in /usr/include.

If that does not help, you'll need to add -E to the command line and look 
at the relevant parts of what it outputs.
