I think the gmp-discuss at gmplib.org list is more appropriate for
installation and usage help.

I can't say exactly what's going wrong, but except for make install, you
should *not* run configure and make as root (with sudo). Something like 

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make check
  sudo make install

is expected to work, to install in a system directory like /usr.

If there's no makefile, that sounds like the configure step failed.
Check if it produced any errors (and if it did, more details can be
found in config.log).
