Thank you for your reply: Firstly, at the command line I enter the following --> xxgdb gdbtst Following that, the 4 windows open and then close. In the window where I started the program I get Segmentation Violation. So I don't have an opportunity to do anything within the debugger.
If I just start xxgdb and try to select the file to debug, following the selection of the file all the xxgdb window remove themselves from the screen. The progam that I am running is a simple hello world C program which runs fine from the command line. With respect to the use of the`where' command, I am not familiar with that command. Can you tell me more. Thanks Peter I have used xxgdb before, -----Original Message----- From: E.L.
