I can't talk for mac os x, or some of the more esoteric OSs having had no exposure to them, (however I imagine Jason's solution should work with anything unix based?), but windows does allow you to load DLLs at execution time, see: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/DLL/loadingdll.aspx or the MSDN

Hi, For your information, these problems have been fixed in the development repos of gmp-ecm and mpfr respectively. What about keeping symbols for all obsolete functions, with a small wrapper (or the original function) so as to be sure that you are still compatible with old or not-yet-updated s

Using mpir-1.3.0-rc1, 'make check' fails on mpfr-2.4.1 with complaints about undefined references mpz_div_2exp and mpz_div_ui. Using mpir-1.3.0-rc1, 'make check' fails on ecm-6.2.3 with complaints about undefined reference mpz_random. Mariah --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~

That's a good thought, but returning 4.3.0-mpir as the gmp version number would be less likely to break routines that compare version numbers than returning mpir-4.3.0, especially when comparing to something like 4.2.1 that doesn't have the extra characters. There are lots of packages out there t
