No , I asked if it's possible to change the gmp install name , so I can j=
ust=20
treat the modified gmp package like a normal one and just type configure =
,=20
make , make install  to install it under a different name. I know how to=20
write scripts to do all this before and after . What I expect the answer =
to=20
be is something like a varible "package name" in Makefile.am which I woul=
d=20
change from "GMP" to "GMP_TEST"=20

thanks
