how to start using GMP

[Blake Huff]

First, everyone's favorite response:  This is a GNU C compiler  
question, or a Unix question, but not really a gmp problem, so you  
should brush up on both of those before working with GMP.

Second:  The answer to your question.  This issue arises because your  
compiler doesn't know where to look for the gmp library.  You can add  
the -L./ flag to tell your compiler to look in the current directory,  
or -L../gmp-4.2.1, etc.   You might could get away with adding the  
full path name to your #include directive, i.,e #include "/User/Home/ 
gmp4-.2.1/gmp", that works on my system. Anyways, these are just a  
few of your options for letting the compiler find the library.
