Dear Laurent and Sylvan:

Your recommendations fixed  the problem, I reinstalled GMP, GMPXX via  
FINK and force the CGAL install package to look for them in /sw/ 
include and /sw/lib.
In this manner when I tested CGAL for its dependencies (T option) it  
came out as 'supported.'
Thanks a bunch, I am new in this area a I will be bothering you  
through my learning curve.
Again, Thank you and kind regards.

Gamal
