Hi, after a clean install of Debian followed by a dist-upgrade to sid on my r5000 indy I'm new to linux on mips.
Since emacs-21.2 segfaults during startup from a xterm (bug reported), I wanted to use gdb for post-mortem debugging - but alas, even when called as gdb --version it hogs the CPU, Any hints? Remote debugging using gdbserver on the Indy w/ gdb on a x86 box via tcp/ip doesn't work either - both programs seem to disagree on the protocol, the host debugger says "Illegal hex digit 59" (;?) and drops the connection. In case it matters: % dpkg -l gdb libc6 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii gdb 5.2.cvs2002081 The GNU Debugger ii libc6 2.2.5-14.3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone % uname -a Linux peachum 2.4.18-r5k-ip22 #1 Sun Jun 23 17:48:07 CEST 2002 mips unknown unknown GNU/Linux Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA Siggy
