Per https://stackoverflow.com/a/19894267/569976 I tried the following to no avail:

  • ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h /usr/include/gmp.h
  • --with-gmp=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu

Both of them get me this error:

configure: error: Unable to locate gmp.h

When I do ln /usr/include/x86-64-linux-gnu/ I see this:

a.out.h  asm  bits  c++  fpu_control.h  gmp.h  gnu  ieee754.h  sys

Any ideas?

    How is this a duplicate? The answer to that one was to do `sudo updatedb` and that's obviously not an answer for this one as, even after having done that, I'm still getting this error.. – neubert Aug 23 '14 at 21:11
  • First of all, make sure you're using the correct path to gmp.h when you run `configure` or make the symlink. As in the other question, you're not being consistent about the correct pathname to the file. Next, see if `configure` is leaving its `config.log` file behind when it fails. config.log should list the specific commands that `configure` ran and what exactly happened. – Kenster Aug 23 '14 at 22:10
  • The path name is correct. Here's my config.log: http://pastebin.com/XcmqhGZr I'm not seeing any specific command mentioned.. – neubert Aug 23 '14 at 23:07
  • That particular `configure` run appears to have failed because it was interrupted, perhaps because someone hit Ctrl-C. Maybe you could rerun configure and reproduce the error to make sure you have an accurate version of the log. – Kenster Aug 23 '14 at 23:12

Have you tried 

ls /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h

Please make sure whether the gmp.h file exists.

Maybe you should run the following command:

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

just in case someone having same issue while trying to compile php via phpbrew, although /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h is definitely there and available:

symlink for gmp.h solved this for me 

ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h /usr/include/gmp.h

Had the same problem in a Debian/PHP Docker container when running:

RUN docker-php-ext-install gmp

This fixed it for me (run it before the docker-php-ext-install command):

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgmp-dev
RUN ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h /usr/include/gmp.h

  • You saved my day! I was trying to add gmp to a standard wordpress docker image and spent many hours figuring out how to do it – Marco Ottolini Feb 07 '20 at 04:51
