(gdb 6.0 builds fine on this system. > But gdb 6.0 does not use curses; only termcap). Actually, we have been building GDB for alphaev67-dec-osf5.1, and it works just fine. But we don't use ncurses, we build GDB with curses. I don't know about ncurses, as we don't have it installed on our Tru64 machines, AFAIK. (It doesn't change anything to your argument, but I just wanted to say that we've been building gdb on this platform, and we do it daily now). -- Joel
