[ROOT] multiple precision library in ROOT

Hi Rooters,

I like to do some calculations with higher floating precision than
"double". This part will be compiled as shared library and loaded in
rootcint. I tried to use libgmp, however I cannot compile my shared 
library, the error is:
Generating dictonary TFuncDict...
Limitation: Can not handle macro --gmp_const const Use +P or -p 
option 
FILE: /usr/include/gmp.h LINE:38
.....

and a lot of following errors.
By the way I'm not a very experinced programmer....

Can anybody help me out there ?

Is there another way to do multiple precision float arithmetics with ROOT
(ROOTCINT) ?

May be one could include some "native" ROOT support for multiple
precision ?

Thanks a lot in advance 

Carsten
