[racket-dev] Math library pushed

I get this message (during doc build, actually):

raco setup: error running: (lib math/scribblings/math.scrbl)
ffi-lib: couldn't open "libmpfr.so" (libmpfr.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory)

I have /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1, which is symlinked to 
/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1.2.2. I expect that libmpfr.so (no version number) 
is provided by the development package.

I changed math/private/bigfloat/mpfr.rkt to use the following lines instead:

(define libgmp (lazy (ffi-lib "libgmp" '("" "3") #:get-lib-dirs 
get-lib-dirs)))
(define libmpfr (lazy (ffi-lib "libmpfr" '("" "1") #:get-lib-dirs 
get-lib-dirs)))

(Running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.4)

When I run the test file with the changes, it works, and the last four 
digits are "4888" as expected.

Looks like my work machine (64-bit Ubuntu 12.10) has libmpfr.so.4 and 
libgmp.so.10. I haven't run the test program there yet.
