Hello,
 What is hogweed4? Gnutls works with nettle 2.7.1, and nettle installs
a library that is called libhogweed.so.2. That library is only
installed if you have gmp already installed, as stated in the error
message. You can verify the version of hogweed present using
"pkg-config --modversion hogweed".

Nikos
