Excelent , thanks

using

tar xzf gmp-4.1.2.tar.gz
cd gmp-4.1.2
sed -e s/libgmp/libjaygmp/g Makefile.am > temp1
sed -e s/LIBGMP/LIBJAYGMP/g temp1 > temp2
sed -e "s/gmp\.h/jaygmp.h/g" temp2 > Makefile.am
sed -e "s/gmp\.h/jaygmp.h/g" configure.in > temp1
sed -e s/libgmp/libjaygmp/g temp1 > configure.in
rm temp1 temp2
autoheader
autoconf
automake
cd ..
mv gmp-4.1.2 jaygmp-4.1.2
tar cjf jaygmp-4.1.2.tar.bz2 jaygmp-4.1.2
rm -r jaygmp-4.1.2

to create a new package jaygmp , which can use the usual ./configure ; ma=
ke ;=20
make install to use it , and using "#include "jaygmp.h" in the C programs=
 and=20
-ljaygmp on the compile line.

A few problems remain , make check fails , --enable-cxx fails , probably=20
--enable-mpfr fails , the info files are still under gmp , and who's know=
s=20
what else :)



This appears to work , although info files are still under gmp
