Hi Keith,

Setting CYGNUS_GUI_LIBRARY did the trick.  The problem is that my install
directory structure looks like this:

root@lovett 0010-19991213 # ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Dec 22 10:06 AIX/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Dec 22 10:06 HP-UX/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Jan  4 09:13 SunOS/
drwxr-xr-x   6 root     root         512 Dec 22 10:38 common/

where common contains architecture independent files such as the
share/cygnus/gui directory.  Even though I specified this during the
configure phase, gdb can't find what it needs.  After looking at the code,
I found that if I create the following symlink

root@lovett 0010-19991213 # ls -l SunOS
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Jan  4 09:14 bin/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Dec 22 13:55 lib/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Jan  4 09:13 share ->
../common/share/

everything works fine without setting CYGNUS_GUI_LIBRARY.  It seems like
this is a bug in the software because configure should take care of letting
gdb know where to find its dependencies.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.
