Description:

mpfr 3.0.0-1 does not allow me to compile any package

The error obtained is

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

mpfr 2.4.2-2 works fine (downgraded the package)

Additional info:

Also attached grub2 bzr configure config.log

A simple "sudo ln /usr/lib/libmpfr.so /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1" command (mpfr 3.0.0-1) solved the problem.

gcc version? gcc 4.5.0-6 works fine here (x86_64).

$ readelf -d /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/cc1

Fully update your system. Gcc definitely links to the new mpfr.
