Before you can configure or build tinc, you need to have two libraries
installed on your system, GMP and OpenSSL. If you try to configure tinc
without having installed both, configure will give you an error message,
and stop.

tinc uses the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library to do some
authentication-related calculations. tinc cannot run without this
library. If you try to configure the tinc source code without this
library installed, you will get an error message.
Currently, versions 1.x, 2.x, 3.0 and 3.0.1 of this library are
supported. You may try to configure if you have another version
installed, chances are big it works without a problem.
You can use your operating system's package manager to install this if
available. Make sure you install the development AND runtime versions
of this package.
If you can't install GMP this way, you can get the source of this latest
version of this library from
@url{http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/gmp.html}. Instructions on how to
configure, build and install this package are included within the
package. Please make sure you build development and runtime libraries
(which is the default).

Disclaimers from the subsection on GMP also apply here; if this library
is not installed, you wil get an error when running configure. Support
for running tinc without having OpenSSL installed @emph{may} be added in
the future.
