Install yum-utils, yum install yum-utils then do yumdownloader --source gmp (or grab the SRPM from a centos mirror) rpm -i gmp-*-src.rpm then go into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (not sure here-- its your expected buildroot) and you will see that there is a bz2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gmp/ and another from mpfr.org. To rebuild the gmp SRPM in the centos way, you should download the versions of those 2 bz2 files and edit the gmp.spec (../SPECS) to reflect that version cd ../SPECS rpmbuild -ba gmp.spec -- Mark > Recently, I built an rpm package for gmp 5.0.1 for CentOS > 5.2.
