My answer is again very generic. Hmm... Is your target to debug pan. What your have done before? If you run "./configure", this command is normally run, when you have downloaded on application zip-package and unzipped it gone to unzipped app-code main directory. There is little runnable script ""configure". "configure" makes makefiles for your system. After "./configure" your compile pan with a command "make" in same directory, where your run "./configure". Google "linux compile debuggeble" and you get basics, for instance " https://newton.ex.ac.uk/teaching/resources/software/linuxcc/"; When you have run ./configure, you have got makefile for compiling pan. "./configure" (without grep) hopefully tells how you can confugure what kind makefile is generated. But you can edit makefile yourself and as Google tells us, your can edit makefile for generating debuggable runnable by hand. Check that compiling flags include "-Oo -g", meaning no optimazion and runnable will include code information", so when you debug pan, your get code lines where runnable fails. When you run gdb <path to runnable-pan> your propably should be in same directory, where you run "make", so gdb can find pan code lines.
