I think I have the test for version-check.sh:
for lib in lib{gmp,mpfr,mpc}.so; do
echo $lib: $(if find /usr/lib* -name $lib|
grep -q $lib;then :;else echo not;fi) found
done
Gives:
libgmp.so: found
libmpfr.so: found
libmpc.so: found
or
libgmp.so: not found
libmpfr.so: found
libmpc.so: found
All of the libraries may not be strictly required, but it errs on the
side of completeness.
If I can get agreement on this, I can add it and make the 7.5 release
tomorrow (um, later today).
