Installing gmp failed: Header file gmp.h not found

I have problems installing the gmp package:

configure: error: Header file gmp.h not found; maybe use --with-gmp-include=INCLUDE_PATH
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘gmp’

But I have gmp installed because after trying to install it with Homebrew (brew install gmp) I got the warning message:

Warning: gmp 6.2.1_1 is already installed and up-to-date.

Searching with macOS Finder I found the location of gmp.h:
/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/include/gmp.h

I tried:

install.packages("gmp", type="source", configure.args = "--with-gmp-include=/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/include/")

but without avail.

What is wrong here? Help is very appreciated.
