How to install mpfr-3.1.2 in Ubuntu 13.04

  • 772

I have Ubuntu 13.04 with processor "Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz × 2 "

I m trying to install mpfr-3.1.2 but the error is coming.

"ERROR! The versions of gmp.h (5.1.3) and libgmp (5.0.5) do not match."

In make command also it is showing this as warning.

How to resolve it?

installation

  1. Availble mpfr version for 13.04 is 3.1.1-1. See packages.ubuntu.com for information.

    You can install it by :

    sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev libmpfr-doc libmpfr4 libmpfr4-dbg

  2. You are trying to build mpfr from source. It depends on gmp. The version of the header and the library do not match, since they are being read from different places.

    To avoid this, you can suitably configure the build. You will see in the output of configure whether the versions of gmp.h and libgmp match or not, there is no need to get the error from make.

    For a proper configuration, run

    ./configure --prefix=<location where to place mpfr> --with-gmp=<location where to look for gmp>

    where

    <location where to place mpfr> is anything you want. E.g., system directories, if you have rights to install there, or under your home directory. I used $HOME/usr/local, for instance.

    <location where to look for gmp> is where gmp is installed. It seems there are two versions of gmp in your system due to the mismatch mentioned in comments. Either solve that, or build/install your own gmp.
