Linking R packages during installation to a Linux RPM

I have installed the rpm of GMP version 4.3.1 but when I try to download the R package 'gmp' it fails with the following error saying that it cannot find GMP.

*/checking for __gmpz_ui_sub in -lgmp... no configure: error: GNU MP not found, or not 4.1.4 or up, see http://gmplib.org ERROR: configuration failed for package gmp*/

This verifies I have gmp installed */$ rpm -q gmp gmp-4.3.1-7.el6_2.2.x86_64/*

Is there a command I can add to install.packages("gmp") that will point to the GMP rpm?

I was getting the exact same error as you when trying to install the R gmp package on Ubuntu, and it worked after installing libgmp3-dev. The equivalent rpm will be libgmp3-devel-something-or-other, try rpm search for your platform.
