Answer 1

The following error:

src/_fastmath.c:34:17: gmp.h: No such file or directory

is probably the cause of your problems. It's part of the "gnu multiprecision library", and you need the "dev" part of it. On Debian. the package is libgmp2-dev, for Redhat it's gmp-devel. For other platforms you'll have to search yourself.

Answer 2

It seems that as your on Solaris your going to have to go to the source:

GMPlib

It has good instructions and support there.
