I've just run the GMP benchmark utility, downloaded from

  https://gmplib.org/download/misc/gmpbench-0.2.tar.bz2

Invoking runbench as "./runbench", on my first attempt I kept getting the message "./runbench: gexpr: not found". Looking at runbench I see that gexpr is invoked as "gexpr" and not as "./gexpr". Rightly or wrongly, but being paranoid, I do not include "." in my PATH variable.

Of course, after editing runbench to substitute "./gexpr" for "gexpr" everything worked fine.

I hate to call this a bug, but I found it to be infelicitous. Perhaps runbench could be modified, or a few words could be added to the README file to indicate that you should have "." in your PATH variable?

Please let me know if you need any more information about this.

Thanks! (And a very belated "Happy 25th Anniversary". I can't recall when I first discovered GMP, but I've been a happy user, although not a heavy user, ever since.)

-- Regards, Will
