+                          INSTALLING GNU MP
+                          =================
+
+
+These instructions are only for the impatient.  Others should read the install
+instructions in gmp.info.  Use
+
+       info -f ./gmp.info
+
+or in emacs
+
+       C-u C-h i gmp.info
+
+
+Here are some brief instructions on how to install GMP.  First you need to
+compile.  Since you're impatient, try this
+
+       ./configure
+       make
+       make check              <= VERY IMPORTANT!!
+
+If that fails, or you care about the performance of GMP, you need to read the
+full instructions in the chapter "Installing GMP" in the manual.
+
+You should not skip the "make check" part; the risk that the GMP sources are
+miscompiled are unfortunately quite high.  And if they indeed are, "make check"
+is very likely to trigger the compiler-introduced bug.
+
+Optionally, you can install the library with the following command.  This will
+be to /usr/local by default, and you'll probably need to be "root" to be able
+to write there.
+
+       make install
+
+To create the printable documentation from the texinfo source, type "make
+gmp.dvi" or "make gmp.ps".  This requires various "tex" commands.
+
+If you are new to GMP, it is a good idea you at least read the chapter "GMP
+Basics" in the manual.
+
+Some known build problems are noted in the "Installing GMP" chapter of
+the manual.  Please report other problems to gmp-bugs@gmplib.org.
+
+The GMP web site is located here: http://gmplib.org/.
