It turns out that while gmp is enabled as a default option for math/pari,
it is not actually listed as a dependency. Thus, if devel/gmp is not
already installed, libpari-gmp.la will not be created and pkg_create will
fail.
I don't understand what you're saying.
The pari package has an optional gmp dependency. When it is enabled,
gmp is installed and added as dependency, when not, it isn't.
What exactly are you doing?
