gdb 9.2 won't build

Hi all,

I'm trying to build gdb 9.2 natively on a Linux x86_64 machine, a guest 
running under VirtualBox on Windows 10. The linker is throwing a number 
of "undefined reference" symbols like tputs and tgetflag which appear to 
have something to do with ncurses and/or termcap.

I tried the configure command shown in the wiki under building natively, 
adding --disable-tui because that fixed a different problem. I'm 
guessing I'm missing a library, but which one?

The reason I'm going through this exercise is that gdb 7.6 that comes 
with CentOS 7 won't read the python support functions for KGDB. It 
complains about "missing attribute COMPLETE_EXPRESSION".

TIA for any help you can offer.

Doug
