Missing symbol in GMP libraries

[Colin Bannister]

Hello,

I've been trying to build a 'package' for the statistical software suite 'R' called deSolve.

The build process fails , as in output below.

It looks like GMP isn't in the expected place, so I looked to install it in the 'standard' /usr/local area.  However, when checking symbols in the libraries for both GMP 4.3.2 and 5.0.1, I haven't seen the symbol __gmpn_sqr_n.  Is this for square roots of negative numbers ?

I can see other similar symbols, e.g. __gmpn_sqr in 5.0.1, or __gmpn_kara_sqr_n   __gmpn_toom3_sqr_n in 4.3.2

could it be I need an older version of GMP ?

Any help much appreciated!

Colin
