insight won't debug my program

insight won't debug my program

[Martin Alley]

Hi All,

I want to debug a program on RedHat 9 (to which I am fairly new).
I have downloaded, made and installed Insight/gdb5.3 (./configure,
./make, ./make install)

I want to try "debugging" the monop demo C program.
I have set up the debugger to run monop, and the working directory is
that of monop.

The xterm field is set to xterm -e
When I click debug, an xterm window comes up with the following
contents:
"
xterm: Can't execvp -T: No such file or directory
[martin@rh9 monop]$
"
 

I get the insight source window, set a breakpoint at the first
executable line in main, and hit run - insight then hangs. (cursor is
watch symbol).

I have left the command to run insight as insight - not changed it to
gdb in contradiction to the readme instructions with sourcenavigator.


How do I troubleshoot my problem?

 

Thanks all

Martin

I don't have a copy of 5.3 around, but I don't recall an xterm field,
just a checkbox.  Does Insight work if you don't use xterm?

Can run debug your program with GDB?

Hi Richard,

I found that if I executed a run command in the command window, it then
ran successfully, breaking at my breakpoints.

I will try not putting anything the xterm field.  Admittedly, when it
ran as described above, then program ran in the window I ran
sourcenavigator from, not the xterm window established by xterm -e.

Thanks so far
Martin
