DDD - in Fedora Core core
 

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/ukoul/CPP/PR_Char_LineCount
warning: Child process unexpectedly missing: No child processes

Program terminated with signal ?, Unknown signal.
The program no longer exists.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)

above is the error I get when try to run a program i am trying to debug.....

Any idea..??

I think this was a problem with gdb 5.1 (something to do with threads)
gdb 6 has it solved i believe.

how do i find my gdb version....and how to i upgrade it.....?

Thx in advance...

Run "gdb --version" from a shell.

See if you can get the RPM-package from http://fedora.redhat.com/download/

Above it the output for the version...looks like I am up to date....what else could be the prob with gdb..?

I have exactly the same problem and no solution yet.
Even a simple hello world program doesn't work. (it compiles and runs without a problem, but debugging with gdb... same messages)

Then I did exactly the same on my other machine (both are fedora core 2 i386) and it worked without any problems.

The differences are, that I have a newer kernel (2.6.9-1.11) here, and it's an amd64, but also fedora core 2 i386 installed (there are no 64 bit ATI drivers).

just found this:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...&highlight=gdb

seems that the 2.6.9-1.11_FC2 kernel has some problems with gcc.

so i started in the old kernel, and no more problems!

how can i start the old kernel

I was able to load old kernel by going to menu --> System Settings-> Bootloader.

and select one previous Kernel version.

I would think this to be fixed..anyways..Posting here for others to who r looking for help
