Instead I get "Step Asm Inst" and "Next Asm Inst" Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:33:56 +0100 i had almost exactly these symptoms, and the problem was fixed for me by typing... (gdb) set solib-absolute-prefix / ... into the command line window in insight. The apparent 'step' and 'next' inactivity is due to gdb not being able to set breakpoints for the step/next behaviours. Not being able to get paths to libraries seems to affect gdb's ablity to set breakpoints. The solib-adbsolute-prefix variable is set at configure time for both gdb and insight, and the defaults i have in my debian [sarge 3.1] are.. gdb [gdb 6.3-debian] has the default : "" insight [GNU gdb 2004-08-11-cvs] has the default : "/usr/share". when I set the value to "/usr/share" in gdb, it has exactly the same broken behaviour with 'next' and 'step'. I guess this is down to the distribution to get the config right, so I've sent this to bugs at debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306276 nice debugger though :)
