Thanks. In this I see:

  checking for ncurses.h... yes
  checking for tgetent in -lncurses... yes

and

gcc -g -O2  -I/usr/include/v9      -o gdb \

So you must have ncurses somewhere.

Hmmm. Google search revealed this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ncurses+gdb+solaris&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=200006282023.NAA16273%40ruby.twinsun.com&rnum=1

Does libncurses exist in any of these directories? What does "gcc -v" say 
(out of curiosity).

I'd hazard a guess that it is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. :-)

Somewhere, GDB found libncurses.so.5 to link against. We need to find the 
library and get its path added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (so that it can be 
found by the dynamic linker/loader can find it).
