* I'm having a problem getting GDB working on HPUX 11.00 First I had the same linking problem as described in the message http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gdb/2000-06/msg00027.html Following the instruction in the above message to add -lxpdl I got gdb to link. Now when I compile a simple test application and try to debug it, gdb fails and says something to Dave: (gdb) file t Reading symbols from t...I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. Symbol format `som' unknown. This seems to be the same error as in message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-06/msg00195.html * About my environment: On this system I installed binutils from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/binutils-2.9.1/ Then installed gcc-2.95.2 from ftp.gnu.org ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr/gnu --enable-threads --with-gnu-as And used this gcc to build gdb. gcc itself seems to work fine, I've built bunch of software with it. harri@peseta (../gdb-5.0/gdb) [77] $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00/2.95.2/specs gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) I wonder if I should build gcc with --with-dwarf2 , or what is the remedy to my problems?
