Why run that script: it's not in the book instructions; try just following the book instructions - they're known to work. > So I > have the correct versions of GMP, MPC and MPFR. The book already is known to have the correct versions. If you follow the book (properly), then there is no need to run such a script as 'download_prerequisites': you should already have everything in place, via book instructions. > What can be the > problem?
