a proposal for the FAQs
Dear PPL-developers, I got the "GMP not found", because there had been a typo in an additional compiler option. "GMP not found" is quite misleading, isn't it? I suggest you add this possible reason for the message to http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/FAQ#GMP_Not_Found. Sincerly, Peter Pein

Hi Peter, thanks for your suggestion. I implemented it with this commit: http://www.cs.unipr.it/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ppl/w3ppl.git;a=commit;h=56f8c4ba341... Concerning the message given by the configuration procedure, which currently is "Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher", you are right this is terse and perhaps misleading. However, I am not sure how to change it. I could think of more accurate alternatives, but they are way too long. One possibility would be to significantly complicate ac_check_gmp.m4 in order to distinguish between the different causes of failure.
