Hi All,

I am new to this user list and was hoping to get some help on GMP
installation.
I was trying to install Math::GMP from CPAN and it requires me to
install GMP library which brought me to this user list "grinning".

-----------------------

Hi Peter,
I'll let others give you the links to Delta Trinity's GMP binaries, and to
Brian Gladman's instructions on how to build GMP using MS Visual Studio (-
mainly because I don't have those links currently at my fingertips).

However, if you're after a quick'n'simple fix, Math::GMP binaries for any
Win32 multi-threaded perl 5.8 (or 5.6) can be obtained from
http://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/math_gmp.html

Those binaries were built against a static GMP (version 4.1.4) library - so
they work perfectly well without having GMP installed on your computer. See
the Readme file that's included with the binaries for installation
instructions - it's very simple, especially if you have the ppm utility.

Cheers,
Rob
