Hi again, now guess what! I tried another aproach i.e. i tried to enter: 'break main' or 'break someFunctionName' and it worked.
And I can in ddd select a functionName (main/whatever) and with the name selected add a breakpoint (by pushing that button...). Well that makes me very happy and I'm not going to spend months why it doesn't work with line-numbers (i.e. break 50), maybe I'll stumble overit someday. Hope I haven't wasted anyone's time regards - Ingvaldur Ingvaldur Þ.
