Hi Marten. You have seriously got to explain more carefully your
environment. "laptop"s come in all shapes and sizes. I figure you are
attempting all of this on Windows though.
* What version of Windows? 32- or 64-bit?
* Where did  you get these instructions? They're not bad, though a little
complicated.
* Do you honestly want to compile GMP 4.2.2??? I don't think the GMP team is
going to support such an endeavor.

Well I should get to the simple answer: you need to `sudo make install` so
that you have write permissions into /usr/local.

In addition, you *seriously* ought to run the following in place of steps 10
and 11:
10)  ./configure
11.0)  make
11.1)  make check
11.2)  sudo make install

Notes:
10) can be replaced with `./configure --diable-static --enable-shared`,
which generates a dynamic rather than static library
11.1) might fail. You can still try the library if you like. (my experience)
Seriously consider jumping to GMP 4.3.2 or 5.0.1 unless ecm 6.0.1 requires
the outdated version of GMP.

> 6) Ran MSYS again

> 9) Typed "cd gmp-4.3.1" (changed directory)

> 10) Typed " ./configure" (and it started checking and creating a bunch of

> 11) Typed "make install" (and it came up with a whole bunch of weird stuff)
