Hi, make for gdb works now. Had to install ncurses-devel and ncurses version 5.4-59. The default package from Suse 9.1 is too new I think. So problem number 2 is solved.
Here is a little bit more information about the expected location of gdb-6.0.tar.bz2 plange-laptp:/tmp/mspgcc # wget -c ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/gdb-6.0.tar.bz2 <ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/gdb-6.0.tar.bz2> --14:32:33-- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/gdb-6.0.tar.bz2 <ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/gdb-6.0.tar.bz2> => `gdb-6.0.tar.bz2' Resolving sources.redhat.com... 12.107.209.250 Connecting to sources.redhat.com[12.107.209.250]:21... connected.

I installed all the stuff some months ago on a different laptop, it worked fine ( with exception of the unexpected location of gdb-6.0.tar.bz2 ).
