Thanks but no, this is a PPC (G5) Xserve. I can't read Japanese.

What really bothers me is that my other server (PPC (G4)) did not have this problem. Why the difference? Surely the processor doesn't matter and its older anyway.

Dennis & those who suffer the same prob,

If you are on Intel Macs, try recompiling & reinstalling GMP as follows:

tar jxvf gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2
cd gmp-4.2.1/mpn/x86
rm *dive_1* */*dive_1* */*/*dive_1* */*mode1o* */*/*mode1o*
cd ../..
sh configure --build=i686-apple-darwin --enable-cxx
make
make check
sudo make install

I also blogged this issue as follows (it's in Japanese, though)

Hope it helps.

I am trying to install Net::SFTP and it has been a major trial of patience. I finally get it working on one of my servers and now am trying to get it on another. Unfortunately I have run into a brick wall on the 2nd server (both are running 10.4.10) with no clue why they are different. The crux of the problem is that I cannot install Math::BigInt::GMP on this server. It appears there is a problem with the installer but yet this did not happen on the other server.

They key on the other server was to install GMP using macports 'port' command. I did the same on this server and all seemed to go well until I tried to install BigInt. I am getting the following:

Can someone help me out with this? TIA.
