I guess I am a little lost in the order of the things. I installed a virtual machine with Ubuntu-13.10, and downloaded last tamp version using svn. (my current gcc version is 4.8.1)

1) Inside thirdparty I copied config-master.inc file to config.inc. So I edited config.inc and commented the line export BITS=64 (since the comment says to leave blank for 32 bits). So I run

$ ./build-tools.sh -t native

So I get...

No such file ´gmp-5.0.1.tar.gz´

I also looked into ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-5.0.5/, and really does not exist a gmp-5.0.1.tar.gz (but there is a gmp-5.0.1.tar.bz2).
