Thanks for your quick reply, and apologies for the slowness in my
response.

To clarify the situation, this occurred on a Linux (SLES 11) system,
where both the gmp and gmp-devel RPMs were already installed.

The initial attempt to install math/pari (with default options) did not
trigger devvel/gmp to be installed as a dependency. And, gmp was not
installed by pkgsrc prior to this.

While investigating the failure, I noticed that while gmp is enabled as
a default option for pari, options.mk does not declare it as a
dependency. At least, it doesn't have anything like BUILD_DEPENDS+=gmp.
So, it looks to me like doesn't actually declare it as a dependency.

The options.mk adds --with-gmp=$(PREFIX) to CONFIGURE_ARGS,so the native
install of gmp is presumably ignored.

I see that options.mk includes ../../devel/gmp/buildlinks.mk, but is
that sufficient to indicate a dependency?

After the initail examination, I ran bmake install in devel/gmp and
bmake clean install in math/pari. With that, pari installed correctly.
