Good Afternoon!

I am new to GNU software and I'd like some help with a few things:

First off, I have the headers and libraries installed that are
required for the configuration (gmp, mpfr, mpc).  They are all located
in /usr/local, however, when I run the configuration command, I
receive an error saying that I do not have the right libraries.  What
am I doing wrong?

And then what else should I be aware of going forward?  Thanks for your help!

Best,
Mark

It's usually better not to install them at all, but to let GCC build
them itself (see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC for more info)

You might need to configure GCC with --with-gmp=/usr/local
--with-mpc=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local

You might need to ensure the shared libraries can be found by the
dynamic linker, either by editing the dynamic linker's search paths or
using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (this isn't necessary
if you follow the steps at the link above)
