Issue while installing `Zarith` about zarith HOT 5 CLOSED

What distribution are you using and how did you install gmp? I'm not sure why it is in /home/amthakur/.local/libgmp-dev/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.a...

from zarith.

There have been issues with gmp and macos, especially ARM chip ones.

I've been able to resolve this by locating the gmp installed via brew:

brew info gmp

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.3.0

And building Zarith locally :

export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.3.0/include $CPPFLAGS"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.3.0/lib $LDFLAGS"

./configure
make

What kind of issues?
Have you tried Zarith 1.14?

I ask this because the issue reported here initially by camit9oct corresponds to Zarith 1.13 on x86_64 with a version of gmp possibly installed by hand. It may not correspond to your issues (if you're using 1.14 and/or ARM) or may have been already fixed (if you're using 1.13). Also, the page you're linking does not mention ARM and may not be related to any issue that can be solved by changing paths, so I'm a bit confused about the link between the reported issue and your proposed solution.

Concerning your issue. Homebrew has changed its install paths since ARM. But we now rely on pkg-config for the include and library paths, so, my hope is that such a change is automatically taken care of (I may be mistaken).

My bad, i missinterpreted this issue as being related to the problem i encountered. I created a separate issue for my specific problem.

Fixed it by deleting the installation /home/amthakur/.local/libgmp-dev/, then logging in as a sudo user, installing Zarith in sudo mode and it worked.
