Package: gdb Version: 7.1-1 I had one program I'm writing and started getting these strange gdb errors, I narrowed it down to linking with libdbi. This is the problem I see:
csm...@elmo:~$ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> #include <dbi/dbi.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello, World!\n"); dbi_initialize(NULL); return 0; } csm...@elmo:~$ gcc -ggdb -o test test.c -ldbi csm...@elmo:~$ gdb ./test GNU gdb (GDB) 7.1-debian Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
