Solving this might seem harder if you didn't have access to another box
with gmp installed. You can still solve it, however, by installing the
rpmdb-redhat RPM on your system (which is useful for a number of
purposes), and running:
rpm -q --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/
--whatprovides libgmp.so.3
That will provide the answer from the actual distribution:
gmp-4.1.2-2
Get that RPM from your Red Hat 9 distribution and install, and you
should be set. By the way, if you have that rpmdb-redhat RPM installed,
you can use the rpm -ivh --aid switch, so if the stock distro knows what
the solution to a dependency is, it will simply suggest the resolution
to you. Have fun!
