Missing libmpfr.so.1 when using gfortran 4.5

[Paul van Delst]

Hello,

I just downloaded the 4.5 binaries (linux stripped, static build from Coudert's site via
the gfortran wiki) and when I attempt to compile I get:

/home/me/local/gfortran/fr/usr/local/gfortran/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.0/f951:
error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

The 4.4 version (static build from Tobias's site) works fine.

I was under the impression that the mpfr library has been in use by gfortran since 4.3 so
I'm a bit puzzled. Does anyone have any idea where this library might reside on a Red Hat
Enterprise 5.0 install? (I can't find it in the usual places) Or is it the "stripped" part
of the 4.5 static build that means that library isn't included (the assumption being it is
usually available on linux systems)? Or something else?

Any info appreciated.

cheers,
