Running just `gdb' from emacs allows it to initialize, but attempts to load a file or indeed perform any command hang until a double-^C cancels the attempt (reporting "C-c C-cquit"). Ironically, even `quit' hangs, so you have to use ^D to exit. Debugging anything within emacs is thus completely impossible at this time. I've tried with a home-compiled gdb (same version) with no better luck. I'm building an emacs-23 from scratch, but I'm pretty sure I've already tried that before, without any conclusive improvement. I know this has come up before, and that it has been "resolved" before for me and for others, but it keeps recurring (usually whenever I actually need to debug something) and I can't find any reliable way to make the problem go away. Do the latest snapshots contain changes which should fix the problem? I'm on an win7-64 system, running the 13 Oct dll snapshot, after a rebaseall. Relevant package versions are below (setup.exe doesn't advertize any newer ones): > binutils 2.22.51-1 > gcc4 4.5.3-3 > gcc4-core 4.5.3-3 > gcc4-g++ 4.5.3-3 > gcc4-java 4.5.3-3 > gdb 7.3.50-2 > emacs 23.3-3 > emacs-X11 23.3-3 Thanks, Ryan -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
