Yes - works ok for me on Linux, too. It's just with Win2k that I'm
experiencing a problem.

Thanks to all who responded. I'm hampered by having to build on a PII
233MHz laptop (./configure usually crashes my 1GHz desktop) - so if I
want to try building with different configure options such as those
suggested by Jim and Patrick (as I have today) it takes a long time and
I find it rather tiring. (I've also tried a few configure options that
have led to './configure' not running successfully.) I haven't yet found
the appropriate options -
faik the problem might well lie with my MSYS/gcc configuration, though
that configuration has previously served me well wrt GMP. I'm using
gcc-2.95.2 and msys-1.0.

I was only really wanting the log() functions that mpfr offers - and
it's only a recreational activity - so I don't want anyone getting
stressed over it :-)

I'll keep trying things, as time and energy permit. I'm still not 
prepared to rule out the possibility that I'm doing something stupid, 
but I need to wait until I'm feeling "fresh" before I tackle it again.

Below is the entire output I get from compiling that script I posted
(with the mpfr_set_str call included).


Cheers,
Rob
