I'm not sure if you are running on windows or linux ... but the differences are small.
I believe that many of the comments about double loading have to do with load commands in the .gdbinit (linux) or gdb.ini (windows) in addition to the gdb-target.ini. You can choose where you want it. The something stupid I had... almost hate to say this... When defining the debugging session I had defined it under "C/C++ Attached to Local Application" instead of under "C/C++ Local Application". You have to completely redo the debug configuration. jim On Fri, 2005-10-14 at 11:34 +0400, Ali.A.Tlisov wrote: > Hi, jim! > > I've faced with the same problem.
