That's not a very clear description of your problem.
I guess you're trying to step into a function call to a library function and
that your executable has not been built against a debugging version of that
library. If that's the case, you should use "Next" to treat such a call as
one instruction rather than do "Step" and get "source not found" errors.

DDD does not fail. Just use "Finish" when you've stepped into a function for
which you don't have the source and you'll end up outside of the function
call.

Not that I'm aware of. There's "xxgdb", but that does not add much to gdb in
my opinion. In unstable, ther are "gvd" and "kdbg" which I haven't used yet.
DDD is very useful, but like every program, you need to invest time to learn
how to use it.
