KDevelop - can't start gdb

I have Fedora Core 2 with Kdevelop 3.03 and gdb 6.0post.

When I try to debug from KDevelop, I get following error with a dialog.

Error while reading shared library symbols: : No such file or directory

I can run the application from KDevelop if I don't debug, and if I run gdb on command line with the application I am trying debug it works fine too. It only does this when I run on the KDevelop's debug->restart.

The GDB screen has following output.

(gdb) run
Error while mapping shared library sections:
: Success.
(gdb) info thread
Error while reading shared library symbols:

Does anybody know what these mean?

Good morning.
I have the same problem. Did you, by chance, succeeded in fixing this problem?

No, I haven't got any progress so far. I tried another IDE called "anjuta" which is known to be the 2nd best from KDevelop. It works just fine. I could debug and do whatever I needed. I might just go ahead and start using this one..

Well, thanks anyway.

I've hit the same problem.

bump.

I've got the same exact problem.

It actually started a couple weeks ago when I was doing updates from my (FCT2 (which became FCT3 and was still working)). Then I did another set of updates (not sure which ones of course :-(.

Anyway, I upgraded to FC2 from a fresh install thinking it would fix this but it is still broken. Arg!

Anybody get this working yet?

does anyone have a solution to the kdevelop-gdb problem?

I'm guessing nobody does.

Ok, the problem is the GDB itself, by default Fedora 2's GDB is 6.0 version.
And debugging under kdevelop doesn't work.
The solutions is to upgrade GDB to version 6.1... -
You could take it from here:

I've took it from here. Launched
rpm -i gdb-6.1post-1.20040607.8.src.rpm

Nothing changed - the problem appears again.
Can anybody tell what I am doing wrong?

I'm using Kdevelop 3.0.3 (Using KDE 3.2.2-6 Red Hat) and I get fixed debug problem by installing last version of gdb.

Which kdevelop do you use?

Ibobak, you've installed the source rpm, that means you'd have to build the binary package and install it before you see any change.
I'd suggest downloading the binary rpm (the one with i386 in the name) and installing that.

I've just now intalled it myself and it fixed for me. )

just follow the recipe found in

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=127274

Good luck.

hi. i also had the same problem. i'm using debian though and i'm newbye too so since it doesn't use rpm packages, i was not able to work it out the above way. i realised though that i was using some unstable sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list so i uncommented them and upgraded to sarge. it works now.
