In my RHEL5.2 installation, there are /usr/lib64/libmpfr.a and 
/usr/lib/libmpfr.a, but no corresponding .so.   I suppose you would have 
to install the standard mpfr from source in order to get the libmpfr.so, 
unless it were supplied in a gfortran wiki build.  The gfortran I have 
installed appears to be static linked to libmpfr, as if it were built on 
RH or CentOS.
