Good catch, Chris. My personal opinion is that GMP should be bumped to "recommended" as you lose significant functionality if it is not installed. Additionally, the maintainers say that if you have to use the --without-gmp switch it builds a "cut-down" version of the package. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 11:24:00 up 118 days, 20:48, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.58, 0.64 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
