A debugger and IDE are very different things, don't confuse the two. THE C debugger for Linux is of course, the GNU symbolic debugger GDB. There's a multitude of graphics frontends and IDEs that include support for it and one integrated debugger that includes it (which can really be thought of of a GUI version of GDB rather then a frontend or IDE) - Insight. > I tried DDD and UPS but they are not easy to handle. So is programming in C. But I agree that DDD's user interface really is... imaginative :-) > I tried using eclipse but it seems only to support java. Bzzt! wrong. Eclipse is a general purpose IDE that happens to be written and have extensive support for JAVA, but is not limited only to JAVA. I don't know how good it is in that capacity, though. > I just miss Borland's old dos IDE BorlandC which was the best of all > times IMHO. Debugging is something that happens in one's head, not a debugger (or IDE). But try Emacs gdb-mode in a console and you'll get pretty much the same user experience with the added value of having an on board psychoanalyst in your IDE which every programmer needs once in a while during debugging sessions. It beats the hell out of ramming your head into the walls... :-) Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Codefidence.
