These are the correct lines to check presence of libgmp and gmp.h.  I
guest you have a Debian GNU/Linux slink where package gpm2-dev does not
provide libgmp.so but libgmp2.so and include files are in a non-standard
place /usr/include/gmp2 :-(  This was fixed in potato with package
libgmp2-dev.

If you have slink and package gmp2-dev, you can create some symbolic link:

  /usr/lib/libgmp.so -> /usr/lib/libgmp2.so
  /usr/include/gmp.h -> /usr/include/gmp2/gmp.h

Then, after removing config.cache and run configure, you should have the
following result:

    $ grep gmp config.cache
    ac_cv_header_gmp_h=${ac_cv_header_gmp_h=yes}
    ac_cv_lib_gmp_mpz_get_d=${ac_cv_lib_gmp_mpz_get_d=yes}

Hope this helps.
