OK, so I compiled GMP 4.0.1 myself (since this version is not available with apt-get). The installation went smootly without a problem. Now, to compile a program (see Programming Forum) with this new lib, do I have to change any file in /etc or any environnement variable so that /usr/local/lib is not skipped when I compile?

hmm i dont know if this is the right switch but you could include /usr/local/lib with -L /usr/local/lib

Just add it to /etc/ld.so.conf and re-run ldconfig
