Problem linking to gmp

[jorgen]

Hello!

I'm using a linux machine with kde environment on a university, connected to a network. I have a c++ program using gmp and mpfr; compiling it with g++ I use -lgmp -lgmpxx -lmpfr. This used to work like a charm but now it suddenly can't find any of those anymore (I get the error "cannot find -lgmp").

Since it's on a network it might not be too easy locating the c++ files (I have tried). I also tried installing gmp from scratch from the gmp website, didn't understand anything of that.

Any ideas?

Maybe check that the gmp libraries are in the expected place:

ls /usr/lib/libgmp*

If they have been installed elsewhere then you probably need to add the directory they are installed in to the compiler flags

g++ ... -L/path/to/gmp/lib -lgmp -lgmpxx ...

Thanks for the reply! But I just figured out that if I change to another environment (xfce?) it works again.
