I've had very good results with ddd and gdb, which should be sufficient
for user-space debugging.  For debugging driver code I have used this
combination with gdbstub (ftp://ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/gdbstub/) and
an old 486 as a remote debugger.

By the way, where are ddd-dmotif and ddd-smotif packages? 
The package ddd (compiled with lesstif) leaves core dumps all over the
place itself.

They are no more; they were quite out of date (1.4). I don't have motif, and
thus cannot build them.

 The package ddd (compiled with lesstif) leaves core dumps all over the
 place itself.

That should change with 2.1-3 (uploaded today), which includes
lesstif-specific patches by one of DDD's authors.

Also, it is in general advisable to _report_ problems with packages through
the bugtracking system, rather than complain about them on debian-user.

Ray - DDD package maintainer

First of all, there's a command-line debugger, gdb.  There are also
xxgdb and ddd (and maybe more), which are just X interfaces to gdb
(AFAIK, both xxgdb and ddd are available as Debian packages).  Don't
forget to install lib*-dbg (for simple programs, you'll need only
libc5-dbg or libc6-dbg) and compile with -g switch.  strip(1)ing an
executable or object file removes debugging symbold from it.

I think I gave you too much info,
Vadik.
