error when trying to install libtmcg “configure: error: libgmp >= 4.1 is needed”

[tgsharp2100]

I've tried installing different libgmp's from ubuntu app center and I tried installing it manually from http://gmplib.org/#DOWNLOAD but I can't get this to configure it's an old library and I'm trying to run it on the latest version of ubuntu but I didn't think I'd have problems but I'm new to trying to use libraries like this any help would be greatly appreciated.

What Ubuntu release are you running? Precise (Ubuntu 12.04LTS) has libgmp 5.0.5 which is more than enough to satisfy libgmp >= 4.1 is needed. Try
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

Thanks for the response I'm using 12.10 the latest version nd've already installed libgmp-dev and I still get same message.
