Sorry about that, my fault. I built the binary distribution from a build
linked against libgmp2.a on our box here, and it isn't reasonable to expect
everyone to have that library with the same name.
In the future the binary distributions will come with a static libgmp, but
the RPMs will still have a dependency on the right external gmp package.
Cheers,
