Hello,

sorry that I am a bit late, but I've just browsed through configure.ac. It seems to me that this code is missing a check whether gmp is actually installed.

http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/manual/html_node/Autoconf.html

Also, I think FriCAS should rather use --enable-gmp. With --with-gmp I would expect to be able to say something like
  --with-gmp=/path/to/package/gmp.

In fact, thinking about this, maybe it should also be

  --enable-algebra-optimization=...

because according to

http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/External-Software.html#External-Software

it is --with-PACKAGENAME, but algebra-optimization is certainly not a package.

Optimization is a compile-time feature.
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Package-Options.html#Package-Options

Same with --enable-gmp. It is a feature which optimizes, but is not really necessary.

Ralf
