debian - Problems building GMP 4.3 -

i'm trying build gmp 4.3* (for compatibility project i'm using), it's not cooperating. install file says run './configure' file doesn't exist. when try building autoconf, pages of errors things possibly defined (but they're right there in acinclude.m4). produce configure file, doesn't work.

so, how proceed?

this page explains use repository, need run .bootstrap. however, easier download official release 1 of gnu mirrors. also, please make sure cannot use more recent release, there few incompatible changes.
