I am new to Linux and Ubuntu (11.10, Oneiric Ocelot), so if there is some type of installer that I can double-click, that would be great. Otherwise, can you help me understand what's happening here.



After downloading gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2 and extracting it to my Documents folder, I followed these instructions, but I'm hitting an error:

louis@x-pc:~/Documents/gmp-5.0.2$ ./configure

[checking various things...]

checking for suitable m4... configure: error: No usable m4 in $PATH or /usr/5bin (see config.log for reasons).

louis@x-pc:~/Documents/gmp-5.0.2$ make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.



config.log is actually 180KB, and I really wouldn't know what to look for.



Can you tell me what I should do?

Ok, here is my answer, so you can accept it and we both gain some points.



You have to install the m4 package.



Use the Ubuntu Package Manager or in terminal print sudo apt-get install m4
