I attempted to install this:
   git clone -b applied/ubuntu/jammy-proposed https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb

I then downloaded and cd'd into gdb and ran

   ./configure
   make

but got this error:

Then I tried to install GMP like this, but it failed

make: *** [Makefile:1001: all] Error 2
gdb: sudo apt-get install GMP

Should I try using the lboggsAmida link instead? I'll try it.
