So I tried uninstalling the old libmpfr and using the command line parameters: --with-mpfr=pathname --with-mpfr-include=pathname --with-mpfr-lib=pathname Still gcc doesn't see the new lib. Seems like gcc is using the old lib location by default which doesn't have mpfr_remainder() function. That created the previous errors from my first post. Changes from versions 2.2.* to version 2.3.0(from mpfr homepage) ...... * New functions mpfr_j0, mpfr_j1, mpfr_jn, mpfr_y0, mpfr_y1, mpfr_yn ,mpfr_lgamma, mpfr_remainder, mpfr_remquo, mpfr_fms, mpfr_signbit, mpfr_setsign, mpfr_copysign, mpfr_get_patches. * Functions mpfr_sin, mpfr_cos and mpfr_sin_cos improved (argument reduction). ...... i think gcc needs to respect the location and CL parameters that refer to new libmpfr. Is there anyway to force the compilation process to recognize the new path without creating symbolic link(even if it means modifying the source)? By the way I get following error in config.log during `make` after uninstalling old mpfr: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... /home/ad/build_gcc/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/ad/build_gcc/./gcc/ -B/opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile See `config.log' for more details. make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ad/build_gcc' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ad/build_gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 And: configure:2567: checking for suffix of object files configure:2588: /home/ad/build_gcc/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/ad/build_gcc/./gcc/ -B/opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /opt/gcc-4.3.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -c -g -fkeep-inline-functions conftest.c >&5 /home/ad/build_gcc/./gcc/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory configure:2591: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | | #define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU C Runtime Library" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libgcc" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU C Runtime Library 1.0" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:2605: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile See `config.log' for more details.
