I stand corrected, it needs only termcap. I have built gdb on systems without curses or termcap development libraries installed (i686-pc-linux-gnu even!) and gdb would not link until I brought in some version of termcap and linked against it. I happened to use ncurses 5.3 to satisfy that requirement and that's I'm thinking "needs curses". Michael C
