> There's a new eclib-2012-04-15.tar.gz which fixes the problem with the
div() function, could you check that?

> It does not yet address the new points you raised. I did have a check
for NTL and pari but removed them for some reason; I can put them back
with a gmp check. There must be a limit to how far we go to be nice the
the user, though: personally I think it is fine to have written down
somewhere: "you need to have a working pari and NTL installation" and let
the user make sure that they have that and configure properly. But while
I am working on this and have not forgotten how to do these things...
In fact I had not removed these checks -- configure.ac, which has code
which is supposed to check that they work. But it only does so if the
user has *not* used the command-line options --with-pari= or --with-ntl=.
In other words, the user is trusted not to get it wrong when giving
customised places for libraries.
I will change this if you tell me exactly how to change configure.ac.
Otherwise, the new tarball (timestamped 15-Apr-2012 16:07) deals with gmp
the same way it deals with pari and NTL.
