I just tried building Pari against mpir-1.3.0-rc3 with --enable-fat on 32 bit linux, and it worked fine, although for some reason on the machine I built on I had to manually rename mpir.h to gmp.h. (Perhaps Jason Moxham can look into why --enable-gmpcompat didn't do this for me - this is on Cicero Jason).
Perhaps in the case of Sage it is picking up a wrong gmp.h header? Check that gmp.h in the Sage include directory actually came from MPIR. If not, rename mpir.h to gmp.h. Still not sure why that should cause the compiler to segfault though. That just shouldn't happen. Bill. 2009/11/13 Bill Hart <[email protected]>: > The compiler itself segfaulted.
