Why do you test for that after all ? I never used gmp - it came up when I noticed that the config failed. gmp provides a test suite to test all this. Of course you can expect the user did not run it but why write your own tests if there are already tests? I would only check if gmp is installed and that`s it. If the user did not run make check (strongly advised on the gmp website) then that should not be the problem of parrot. Anything against this standpoint ? Adrian Lambeck
