I had the same isssue with the 1.99.5 stable source on a Open Suse 12.2, 
however when I downloaded the latest svn source code everything compiled 
without any problem. Also for your information when I looked in yast I have 
the correct gmp libraries, so I think the problem lies in the stable source 
code and not in your Ubuntu system.

Hopes this helps
