So are you saying your Linux (you don't say what distro) doesn't supply 
packages for GMP, MPFR, PPL and Autogen? I find that rather surprising. 
If that really is the case (and I doubt it), I see e.g. that Autogen 
supply rpms:

I understand that.

Your "problem" is, as I understand it, installing the prerequisites. 
Sounds like you have not even got around to the GCC installation yet...
