Further to Steve's comments, see section 15.2 of the GDB manual, "Debugging Information in Separate Files". It describes what actually goes on. The rationale for keeping full paths inside /usr/lib/debug is solid, too, once you think about it -- without the hierarchy within /usr/lib/debug, you'd have no way to store detached symbols for multiple executables with the same name, unless the files were stored by some non-name-related scheme (ugly). - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
