The missing part is related to the gdb-Python integration. Look around for information about this integration - e.g. installation instructions. What is missing is apparently a C extension for Python. When you have the source of this package, then it may contain a "setup.py". In this case "[sudo] python setup.py install" may do everything necessary to get a working C extension. > Do you have any idea if it is a compiler directive? Not for this problem. However, using "gdb" usually profits considerably from having debugging symbols. A system installed Python usually lacks those symbols. Therefore, after you have solved the current problem, it may be profitable to compile your own Python from source. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
