I am installing a library, and got this error message:

xxxx@ubuntu$ make
(cd num; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/xxxx/num'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxxx/num'
(cd itv; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/xxxx/itv'
gcc -Wcast-qual -Wswitch -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wall -Wextra -Wundef -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused -std=c99 -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -O3 -DNDEBUG -I../num -I../apron -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -DNUM_MPQ -c -o itvMPQ.o itv.c
In file included from itv.h:9:0, from itv.c:5:

compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [itvMPQ.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxxx/itv'
make: *** [c] Error 2

So the problem is that it can not find gmp.h, does anyone know where this file is located, and how to make it found by the installer? By the way, at the moment my Makefile points mainly to /usr and /usr/local...

Edit1: After installing libgmp3-dev as suggested, the current error message is ../num/num.h:16:18: fatal error: mpfr.h: No such file or directory, does anyone know which package it is about?

Edit2: I have installed MPFR by following this page, and that did help, now the error message is gmp_caml.c:17:33: fatal error: caml/camlidlruntime.h: No such file or directory, could anyone help?

Edit3: I have done apt-file search camlidlruntime, and it returns camlidl: /usr/lib/ocaml/caml/camlidlruntime.h, but there is no camlidlruntime.h in my folder /usr/lib/ocaml/caml/, how could I check if I have installed dev package of MPFR? and which package it is exactly about?

you need to install libgmp3-dev

depends on your linux

yum install libgmp3-dev
apt-get install libgmp3-dev

On OS X (if you're using Homebrew), do this:

brew install gmp

In Centos 6.5 it is sudo yum install gmp gmp-devel gmp-status.

ProTip: Just search for the gmp in yum and also check out yum provides command.

Because it can happen that you need this library in 32 bit format for any particular reason (like it was for me)

You will need to run (on an Ubuntu/Debian) :

apt-get install libgmp3-dev:i386

the suffix :i386 behind any library will install the 32 bits version of it.

I did a lot of research and finally I could compile hue with the following environment variables:

 export CPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/gmp.h -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/gmp.h" export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/gmp.h" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

For me this worked:-

apt-get install libgmp3-dev (Might vary in linux distro; this is for Ubuntu)
pip3 install gmpy --user

This may sound kind of dumb: whenever I got an error , I just did :sudo apt-get install lib<name_of_library_not_found>-devand it somehow solved the problem. Don't Know how, something to do with developer libraries or something
