The Linux linker is smart enough to pull in all the dependencies,
usually, but for the record they are -lq and -lgmp. On other
operating systems YMMV; Cygwin requires explicit -lq -lgmp -liconv.

I recommend building from source in that case.  It's very easy:

* unpack the tarball
$ ./configure --prefix=some/directory
$ make
$ make install
