Hm, I never seem to have needed -ggdb, for me -g was usually suffcient. Any

| In the manual it says to run R through gdb by: R -d gdb

I thought that was in the manual, but it seems it isn't. Doug Bates
describes it once or twice a few years back; one quick Google search leads to

Hope this helps, Dirk
