The messages are normal clutter. FYI, when GMP is found I am seeing
8 messages (two groups of 4), and when it is not found I see 4 as
above. So it would be good to check if your FriCAS is actually
finding GMP (the differences in messages may be due to how
loading libraries on Mac works). I would check how much time
the following takes:
)set messages time on
exp1()
digits(10^6)
pp1 := exp1();
This should be much faster (of order of a seconds instead of tens
of seconds) when using GMP.
