Just don't specify any binary to the gdb command line. Let it find the correct binary from /proc: $ gdb -p <pid> This is because sometimes kdeinit4 is the binary and the application is loaded as a shared library and gdb gets very confused if you tell it where the binary is. Also, always make sure that the debug symbols package is exactly the same version as the package providing the binary. In some debug packages dependencies are not strict and you might get version mismatch. Regards, George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
