Do you have an up-to-date GMP installation ?
If so, then I don't think there is any problem with your perl, or with the
libraries you have ... it's just that the system is having trouble
finding/loading one or more requisite libraries.

If your GMP is not the latest, then maybe try updating .... though I would
have thought any problems with an outdated GMP library would have surfaced
at the 'make' stage, rather than the 'test' stage.

Re: Math::GMP Make Test error on Itanium running HP-UX 11.23

My GMP installation is current, and I did not have any problems
installing GMP.

If your GMP was built as a shared library (.so), one possible workaround
might to be build GMP as a static library, and then build Math::GMP against
that static build.

But, even if that works, it's only a workaround - and doesn't address the
issue of determining just what it is that the system needs to find/load, and
why it can't find/load it. If no-one here can help, you might need to post
to a HP-UX newsgroup.

One thing I would be wondering is whether it's a problem specific to GMP, or
whether the same problem arises whenever a perl module needs to access an
external library. If you're wondering the same thing but haven't installed
any other perl modules that need to access an external library, then maybe
try Unix::Statgrab (which I assume works with your OS). It needs
libstatgrab.

Cheers,
Rob

This is line noise.

Run "normal" ldd; check with which version of gmp DLL it is linked. Check
for symbol __gmpn_invert_limb (or similar symbols; number of
underscores sometimes is mismatched) in the gmp dll (run nm against
this DLL).

Hope this helps,
Ilya

Re: Math::GMP Make Test error on Itanium running HP-UX 11.23

I think I may have issues with my GMP Installation. When I did the nm
on libgmp.a I received the following output when grepping for
__gmpn_invert_limb:

>nm libgmp.a |grep gmpn_invert_limb
