On both Linux and Mac OS I am having trouble compiling GAP 4r5 from scratch.

In each case, GMP is not installed system-wide and so the included-GMP is 
compiled instead, and this compilation fails - actually it is not the 
compilation that fails, but the GMP "self-check" after it has compiled.

***Error: GMP self-check has failed. See 
bin/x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0-gcc/64-bit/extern/gmp-5.0.1/check_log for 
details.***

make[1]: *** [gmp_build] Error 1
make: *** [extern] Error 2

When I actually look at the "check_log" for details as instructed, it says:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `check'.  Stop.

(Yes, just one line in the file)


On one system I don't have root privileges to install GMP system-wide and I'd 
rather not do it on the other system if I can just use a supplied GMP …

Please advise!

Thanks
