ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

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!
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
The following are my environment variables minus the ones I thought were irrelevant to this topic:

cp TEPCdacq /opt/eldk/ppc_4xx/home/shared/.
The exe is copied to a share folder that is NFS mounted on the target.
I run the code and get a core core.TEPCdacq.870:

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:
Code:
