Comment:

 It appears that Centos 7 uses libgmp 6.0.0, which has a different
 [[https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/04/shared-object-version|soversion]] from
 the rather ancient 4.3.1 released used in 6.6 (for which our Centos builds
 are intended). It's possible you could use the Debian build on Centos 7 as
 Debian has used libgmp 6.0.0 for quite some time.
