how to fix libgmp and libmpfr mismatch during configure

I am facing this issue with compiling gnuplot but I believe this is more general issue. The compiler is picking non-compatible version of gmp and mpfr pairs of library. Not sure what to pass to config开发者_C百科ure so as to fix this.

Right now my system libgmp and libmpfr in both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. Two versions of mpfr so.1.2 and so.4 are installed on the system. But the compiler picks up so.4.

Playing around with LDFLAGS didn't solve the problem. Would appreciate any help.

If you have several versions of a library you should make sure the .so compilation link points to the right one, i.e. in this case, libmpfr.so should point to libmpfr.so.1.2.
