How do I do that? >From the gcc manpage: -g Produce debugging information in the operating system's native format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF 2). GDB can work with this debugging information. So add -g to your CFLAGS. (Set CFLAGS="-g" plus whatever other CFLAGS you use before compiling.) Note that various optimizations can make debugging difficult, of course. See the manpage for additional -g<otherstuff> flags. Finally (and in general), note that symbols may be stripped by the build/make script. I'm not sure if pan's does or not, but at the ./configure step, you can try ./configure --help and see what it spits out. It's likely you can add a debug option there that will take care of the gcc -g as well as any stripping. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
