Hi

GAP-4.5 compiles and runs OK for me with MPIR-2.5.1 , I would need some more 
details to track this down

Thanks
Jason

Hi MPIR devs

Do any of you know what Dima is alluding to below?

that's the version of GMP used by GAP 4.5 (they are moving towards
using an external
longnums package), and I know they recently were working quite a bit
with GMP people
to get in the right patches.

I wish GAP worked with MPIR, but the latter does not provide all the
GMP calls used by GAP.
It would be good if these were added...
