[egenix-users] egenix experimental installation error

[Chuck Esterbrook]

Hi,

When running "python setup.py install" in 
"egenix-mx-experimental-0.6.0" as root, mxNumber complains that it 
can't find "gmp.h".

I actually only need mxTidy (not mxNumber) so if there is some option 
to leave out mxNumber, that would be great.

Any ideas?

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 (Linux 2.4.8-26mdk) and Python 2.2.1. More 
details:
