Dennis & those who suffer the same prob,

If you are on Intel Macs, try recompiling & reinstalling GMP as follows:

tar jxvf gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2
cd gmp-4.2.1/mpn/x86
rm *dive_1* */*dive_1* */*/*dive_1* */*mode1o* */*/*mode1o*
cd ../..
sh configure --build=i686-apple-darwin --enable-cxx
make
make check
sudo make install

I also blogged this issue as follows (it's in Japanese, though)

Hope it helps.

I am trying to install Net::SFTP and it has been a major trial of patience. I finally get it working on one of my servers and now am trying to get it on another. Unfortunately I have run into a brick wall on the 2nd server (both are running 10.4.10) with no clue why they are different. The crux of the problem is that I cannot install Math::BigInt::GMP on this server. It appears there is a problem with the installer but yet this did not happen on the other server.

They key on the other server was to install GMP using macports 'port' command. I did the same on this server and all seemed to go well until I tried to install BigInt. I am getting the following:

Can someone help me out with this? TIA.
