Im trying to install Math::GMP but it keeps failing and im not sure where to go from here . This is what im typing and here is the output pointing to the log file:

[root@confeng Math-GMP-2.06-VEVNp7]# cpanm Math::GMP

I checked the logs and im not sure what structure im supposed to have here are the logs of /root/.cpanm/build.log

GMP.xs:4:17: error: gmp.h: No such file or directory

is the important part.

You must install the development files/headers for libgmp. On my openSUSE system the relevant file is /usr/include/gmp.h, the package is called gmp-devel. On Debian/derived systems, the package is called libgmp3-dev.

    If the proposal [Easy installation of non-CPAN dependencies](http://news.perlfoundation.org/2012/05/2012q2-grant-proposal-easy-ins.html) by [chorny](http://stackoverflow.com/users/13467/alexandr-ciornii) is granted and completed, these sort of beginner problems will dwindle drastically. Community, please share this. – daxim May 04 '12 at 11:49

On my Ubuntu box, I installed libmath-gmp-perl by Synaptic Package Manager. The GMP package in question would be compiled. It's not a good workaround though, but it works for me.

run this command :

yum install gmp-static
