Others have gdb debug symbols but I don't...
Using the same platform and the same code compiled with -g
My teammate can logon build the source, run, create a core file
>gdb Exename core.exename.pid
gdb> where
produces a backtrace to the line that the error occurred.
I login and build the same source, run, create a core file
>gdb Exename core.exename.pid
gdb> where
gives me minimal info as if I have no symbols loaded.
Checked our .bashrc and env for differences but find none. What? I give up!

Try this: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gdb/gdb_125.html
The following quote is from above link:
Quote:
file filename
Use filename as the program to be debugged. It is read for its symbols and for the contents of pure memory.

I will look at the provided link. However, remember that nothing is different except that I login to my account and my teammate logs into their account. They can get useful debug information, I can't. The Exe has the debug info built into it at compile time right? So I understand you are saying use the file command but typically this is not necessary

Yes, but there is no harm in trying since the cause of the problem is unknown! |

I couldn't properly read your outputs since you didn't use the [code] tags, see what I get by the following commands, try the exact same commands on a simple program like hello.c, and compare the outputs:

Which code are you talking of? You must not be asking me to paste here a 'hello.c' of course!
