 In practice, that example would be written like this instead:  This might look tedious, with all the initializing and clearing.  Fortunately
   some of these operations can be combined, and other operations can often be
   avoided.  An experienced GMP user might write:

 Finally, you have to compile your test program, and link it with the MP  
 library.  Assuming your working directory is still the gmp source directory,  
 type:  
   
         gcc -g -I. example.c libgmp.a  Now you have to compile your test program, and link it with the GMP library.
   Assuming your working directory is still the gmp source directory, and your
   source file is called example.c, enter:
   
           gcc -g -I. example.c .libs/libgmp.a
   
   After installing, the command becomes: "gcc -g example.c -lgmp".  Also, GMP is
   libtool based so you can use that to link if you want.
   
 Now try to run the example:  Now try to run the example:

   Some known build problems are noted in the "Installing GMP" chapter of

 Known Build Problems  
 --------------------  
   
 Note that GCC 2.7.2 (as well as 2.6.3) for the RS/6000 and PowerPC can not  
 be used to compile GMP, due to a bug in GCC.  If you want to use GCC, you  
 need to apply the patch at the end of this file, or use a later version of  
 the compiler.  
   
 If you are on a Sequent Symmetry, use GAS instead of the system's assembler  ----------------
 due to the latter's serious bugs.  Local variables:
   mode: text
 The system compiler on NeXT is a massacred and old gcc, even if the  fill-column: 78
 compiler calls itself cc.  This compiler cannot be used to build GMP.  You  End:
 need to get a real gcc, and install that before you compile GMP.  (NeXT  
 might have fixed this in newer releases of their system.)  
   
 Please report other problems to bug-gmp@prep.ai.mit.edu.  
   
   
 Patch to apply to GCC 2.6.3 and 2.7.2:
