I am trying to build the current version of gdb (4.9) because the version (3.5) distributed with *BSD no longer understands debugging output from C++. GDB version 4.9 doesn't work compiled out of the box. When loading an executable that has been compiled with -g debugging symbols, it reports that it was unable to allocate some large amount of memory (several hundred megabytes) and exits. It loads and runs non-debug executables just fine (really useful). If nobody has done this, I will work on it but I'd rather not reinvent this wheel. -- Mci aigh vojs Jim McKim / Internet: mckim@lerc.nasa.gov gcashvwbu pshhsf hc Phone: +1 216 891 2283 / Packet: kb8dcr@kb8dcr.ampr.org rc hvob rsqfmdhwbu fchhsr gwubohifsg..
