troubles with gmp

[Sam Rawlins]

Hi Soumia,

As a personal recommendation to anyone doing C development on Mac OS X:

Rather than Mac's gcc, or Mac's LLVM (I just never liked Xcode...), I
install MacPorts [1] (other people like Homebrew [2]) and from there
install some base-level gcc that gmp can be compiled with. MacPorts and
Homebrew are similar to other binary package management systems like rpm,
deb, portage. Once MacPorts is installed, you can:

$ port install gcc
... a long time later ... can build gmp using this much better gcc.
