Re: Problem Building gdb on Solaris 2.8 for Intel

[Peter.Schauer]

This will be fixed in the next version of GDB.

Actually configure is failing to detect the presence of curses.h on
Solaris 2.7 and 2.8.

A cleaner workaround might be to change

/* #undef HAVE_CURSES_H */

to

#define HAVE_CURSES_H 1

in gdb/config.h after configuring.
