Thanks for the indication -- I was not aware of the new GMP 4.0. A rapid= =20 test shows the current gmpy.c, release 0.8, breaks in exactly one place= =20 (structure gmpstatet used to have a member named seed, now renamed to=20 mpseed). Once that single line is fixed, gmpy 0.8 builds fine (on a=20

Have you commited to the CVS? It'd be nice to have it compiling with both, the new and the old gmp.

Linux box) with the new GMP 4.0 and passes all of its 973 unit-tests (wit= h=20 Python 2.2b1). I think we should rapidly release a 0.8.1 with the one-li= ne=20 fix (arranged so it keeps building with GMP 3.1 while also building with= =20 4.0, of course), and plan the modest gmpy extensions needed to exploit=20

Ohh.. that's it! Nice.. :-)

I'll commit the multiprecision pi code, so the next version already includes it.

Thanks!!
