The precompiled GMP binaries that come with CGAL are dynamic libraries. If 
you 
want to link with them, you need to link with gmp-vc90-mt.lib (in release 
mode) or gmp-vc90-mt-gd.lib (in debug mode). Use vc80 instead of vc90 if you 
are using the old MSVS2005 instead of MSVS2008.

The reason behind those strange names is that CGAL libraries use the same 
auto-linking feature as Boost libraries does.

But, really, if you want to get accurate help from the mailing list, you 
should give far more information to us.
