You will find essential John Maddock's patches for NTL used with the Math Toolkit - in the sandbox until 1.35 is out. And it would be really nice if we could persuade the author Victor Shoup to release at least the base part of NTL under the Boost license - is GPL at present.
Actually I've removed the patches and written a thin wrapper class instead in boost/math/bindings/rr.hpp. Hopefully folks will provide bindings for other popular packages at some point as well :-) Only trouble you might have: * NTL's error handler aborts on error: including on numeric *underflow*, something I find really annoying :-( * NTL's << streaming operator is temperamental: has a habbit of writing out the result as an integer where possible, even if the number of digits far exceeds what you can paste into C++ code as a literal. There's no way to force it into scientific mode either. Other than that it would be interesting to hear your experiences of using this. HTH, John.
