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
