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.
Brandon
