Thanks for the links Ian.

I found some interesting bits on the O.O port to VMS site. The other
seems to be down still

I found this topic:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.vms/browse_frm/thread/9111b97c0b2bd690/4a27948554776286?q=gnu+gmp+openvms+alpha&lnk=gst&rnum=1#4a27948554776286

I tried downloading the gmp kit and building it under GNV -- however --
it looks like there's some buggy stuff happening with the configure
step in the config.sub script where it's trying to figure out precisely
which type of Alpha is being used.

I'm willing to work on getting this thing to work, but I'd love to know
if anyone has already cracked this nut and it just hasn't made its way
back into the distribution.

Ultimately my goal is to build the perl Net::SSH2 module on the system.
It requires one include file from the gmp kit, gmp.h. I haven't been
able to figure out yet if there's somewhere in the gmp kit I can just
yank out the gmp.h or not.

Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/etc....

Robert
