fails,

Recently, I was thrown back to Debian Lenny, out of a mistake of my own 
regard 1) (which dates back to 14 February 2009, so over 1.5 years ago).

What I did was downloading:

gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2
mpc-0.8.2.tar.gz

unpack them into their own directories and adding:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 toon toon 15 2010-07-14 15:19 gmp -> ../../gmp-4.3.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 toon toon 15 2010-07-14 14:51 mpc -> ../../mpc-0.8.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 toon toon 16 2010-07-14 15:24 mpfr -> ../../mpfr-2.4.2

as those source directories were two levels up from my 'gcc' source 
directory.

That worked (I never got it working with mpfr 3.0.0 and gmp 5.0.x)

Cheers,

1) As Steve Bourne says: When logged in as the superuser, the prompt
   turns into '#', to remind you of your responsibilities 2).

2) Throwing away /usr/sbin is a bad move, even if it's just a keystroke
   away from removing /usr/snp (and you're using command line
   completion).
