cannot find debuginfo for g libc-2.12-2.i686
 

Trying to use gdb to debug a C program, I got the message (from gdb) of "missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.12-2.i686" so I did that. However, although it began trying, I got the message "could not find debuginfo for main pkg: glibc-2.12-2.i686"

I am running Fedora 13, with pretty much the standard repositories which come with it.

There is a package "glibc-debuginfo-2.12-3.i686.rpm"
( I'd guess it's for debugging glibc itself ? )

But anyway, you can get all "debuginfo" packages by enabling
the [fedora-debuginfo] repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/ :
fedora-repo + fedora-updates.repo [updates-debuginfo]
→ → enabled=1
