libmpfr-dev needs to be installed on your main OS; GUB will not build that itself. I think you already knew that, but I'm adding that advice here in case somebody else tries to solve this and runs into the problem. That dependency is noted in the README, but it's not particularly easy to find. > The first two seem to be part of the GUB build, the > last is not.

I have a vague recollection of trying a 32-bit build and not seeing any difference, but I wouldn't swear to it. As for Jan, how long as did you ask him? I don't think that we can / should rely on responses from any one particular person, especially if it's been more than a few weeks. It would be great if other people tried out GUB themselves -- maybe a it'll work just fine on Redhat (which could help debug the problem we see on ubuntu), or maybe it won't but a fresh pair of eyes could see something that was missed. > Most of these errors, IIRC, are in the darwin/ area, which may imply > a connection to issue 1948. There's no connection between that and 1993, 1943, or 1948.
