    I'm using cygwin and had the same problem. Yes it's an external library. I manage to get around this error after installing the Math library package called GMP. So for pure native Linux/Unix environment, it will need this RPM/DEB/Tarball installed.

    Description about gmp package: GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic

      Need to install perl-Math-BigInt-GMP from the Fedora repository.
