[Thu Nov 10 22:53:58 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to Math::BigInt::FastCalc at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/LedgerSMB/Form.pm line 61, referer: http://localhost/ledgersmb/menu.pl?login=username&menu=1&id=103&open=:

What should you do with this? Nothing or install math libs

From irc:
ehu: you can run without it, just slower.
ehu: but you can install it and rid yourself of the error reported.

Install Math:BigInt:GMP to get rid of the message.

Debian:
apt-get install libmath-bigint-gmp-perl

Ubuntu 10.4 LTS:
sudo apt-get install libmath-bigint-gmp-perl

RPM (Centos, Redhat...)
perl-Math-BigInt-GMP is available from the rpmforge repository - http://repoforge.org/

From irc:
haso: The setup script do not check for it. ... Should it ?
ehu: well, since you can run without, I don't think so.
ehu: do you?
haso: It could be an informed option.
ehu: well, that's indeed an idea.
ehu: it's in the install file for debian and RH, I think.
