Question

[Gerold Jaeger]

My name is Gerold Jaeger from the university of Kiel in Germany.
I want to use the GNUmp package gmp-4.1.2 for arithmetic on
arbitrary precision numbers.
I have done as described in the file "INSTALL":

./configure
make

I have tested the following example program in this file

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gmp.h>

main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    mpz_t a, b, p;
    if (argc != 3)
        {
        printf ("Usage: %s <number> <number>\n", argv[0]);
        return 1;
        }

        /* Initialize and assign a and b from base 10 strings in argv */
    mpz_init_set_str (a, argv[1], 10);
    mpz_init_set_str (b, argv[2], 10);
        /* Initialize p */
    mpz_init (p);
        /* Multiply a and b and put the result in p */
    mpz_mul (p, a, b);
        /* Print p in decimal */
    gmp_printf ("%Zd\n", p);
        /* Since we're about to exit, no need to clear out variables */
    return 0;
}

When I try to compile it with

"gcc -g -I. example.c .libs/libgmp.a"

I get the following:

"ld: warning: file .libs/libgmp.a(init.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"



My computer is of the follwowing type:

Machine hardware:   sun4u
OS version:         5.8
Processor type:     sparc
Hardware:           SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise


Can you explain me what I have done wrongly?

Best regards,
