The -g option during compiling _and_ linking should be enough. For g++, you could use -gstabs+. What exactly did you do in xxgdb? If you get a segmentation fault while running the program, try the `where' command to see where the program was when it crashed. The debugger will not stop a program from crashing, it will (among other things) let you inspect the status of the program when it crashes. Eric Meijer -- E.L.
