Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2009-08/txt/msg00248.txt.bz2 This is something I've run up against before... Often when I try to build gdb on a new host, it fails because configure can't find libtermcap (which I guess it wants both for TUI and readline). I usually end up building and installing libtermcap from sources, as root, into the system directory, but if it's someone else's machine I'd rather not do that. Is there some configure option that I can use to make it find a local build or install of libtermcap?
