My GMP installation is current, and I did not have any problems
installing GMP.


If your GMP was built as a shared library (.so), one possible workaround
might to be build GMP as a static library, and then build Math::GMP against
that static build.

But, even if that works, it's only a workaround - and doesn't address the
issue of determining just what it is that the system needs to find/load, and
why it can't find/load it. If no-one here can help, you might need to post
to a HP-UX newsgroup.

One thing I would be wondering is whether it's a problem specific to GMP, or
whether the same problem arises whenever a perl module needs to access an
external library. If you're wondering the same thing but haven't installed
any other perl modules that need to access an external library, then maybe
try Unix::Statgrab (which I assume works with your OS). It needs
libstatgrab.

Cheers,
Rob
