i fixed it in at least one place. this doesn't make a huge difference right now, as other things completely overwhelm this in terms of time spent. but still nice...

Thanks for reporting back, Jessica. For a real in-package fix, my guess is that the m4 files for finding gmp and other libraries need to be updated. Maybe once the...

Reopening -- I need to check if minieigen has implemented this, and if not, make a PR for that.

I think that this kind of testing should be done perhaps via the bertini_timing suite. We need these kinds of numbers for not only eigen stuff, but also for some...

right now, here's what we have in include/bertini2/eigen_extensions.hpp: ``` using mpfr_float = bertini::mpfr_float; template struct NumTraits : GenericNumTraits // permits to get the epsilon, dummy_precision, lowest, highest functions { typedef...

and in amp_tracker.hpp: ``` inline mpfr_float ArithmeticCost(unsigned precision) { if (precision==DoublePrecision()) return 1; else return mpfr_float("10.35") + mpfr_float("0.13") * precision; } ``` these values are directly from the AMP papers,...

i've received similar errors when the autotools/m4 macros that find boost, instead of finding the newer `apt` installed one, find the one that came with the system. i'll poke around,...

the boost version that goes with 16.04 is 1.58, as shown [here](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libboost-all-dev). are you sure you have 16.04? [17.04 gets 1.62](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/zesty/+package/libboost-all-dev).

on a fresh install of ubuntu 17.04, with `apt`-installed `libboost1.62-all-dev`, and `gcc-4.9`, i got what i expected -- a single test failed, and i know which test it was and...
