Broken mirrors for gmp4

[benbuckman]

Trying to install gcc46, which requires gmp4, I got this:

==> Installing gcc46 dependency: gmp4
==> Downloading ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-4.3.2/gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
curl: (28) connect() timed out!
Trying a mirror...
==> Downloading ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
Error: Download failed: ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2

I found a working mirror here:
http://gnu.mirrors.hoobly.com/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2

I replaced the mirror in /usr/local/Library/Formula/gmp4.rb with that URL, and brew install gmp4 worked.

Perhaps update the official mirror list accordingly?

Also, it would be nice if there was a simpler way to add a mirror URL for installing a particular package. It took a while to figure out where that /Formula/ file lived.

Cannot reproduce here. Maybe transient issue of your network. I suggest retry later and see.

Please report homebrew-versions issues to their issue tracker.

I am having this issue right now. Also tried earlier this afternoon and got the same.

brew install gcc47 --use-llvm
Warning: "--use-llvm" is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
Please use "--cc=llvm-gcc" instead.

These open issues may also help:
Broken mirrors for gmp4 (#23542)
Add gmp4 formula (#7051)

Read and tried both, also ran brew update and brew doctor - there are no missing links...

Thanks

Why are you using --with-llvm?

[REngstrom]

Following the instructions I have to install Metasploit, I am a network admin and lately we've been having problems with one of our web servers so I want to be able to see how they are getting in so I can plug those holes. Here is the site I am getting the instructions from - http://www.darkoperator.com/installing-metasploit-framewor/
Thanks for the help...

leaving off the --use-llvm it seems to be working.
