No GUI with GDB 5.0 on Redhat 6.1

I downloaded and 
successfully built GDB 5.0 from Redhat's site on my Redhat 6.1 system.  
However, when I start it I get the old command interface - no GUI. I searched 
the archives and found other reports of the same problem.  One of those 
messages mentioned something about a widgets file in the share directory.  
My /usr/share directory doesn't have any file with "widget" in its name.  
Do I need to install any other packages to use the GDB 5.0 GUI?  
Thanks.

Make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set properly.  If DISPLAY
is not set, gdb reverts to command mode.

Also, use "which gdb" to make sure the right gdb is being picked up.

The file you should not have is called  iwidgets2.2.0 in share.
You should have a iwidgets3.0.0 in there though.
