Hi, We have installed gdb-4.18 on our Solaris X86 PCs. uname -a: SunOS avocado.csil.sfu.ca 5.6 Generic_105182-17 i86pc i386 i86pc The installation went fine, but every time we are trying to use it on any machine, we get the following error: GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
