Re: when running gdb I cannot find crti.S

Stephan

Thanks for the reply. I'm now thinking I've got something more fundamental wrong, other than where 
it's stopped.

Luckily I've not deleted what I did last year - when I was happily using gdb. A backtrace gives 
these results -
     *  #0  0xb73be8ca in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
     *  #1  0xb36b187b in g_poll () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

When I do a backtrace on the non-working gdb I get the results below. Notice how the names of the 
files quoted are the binaries and *_not_* the source files with line numbers.

If I pick one of those binaries this is what I find.

The file on the working gdb is a lot larger than that on the the one where gdb is not working. 


The default file as packaged by my distro is -

     *  2387291 9340 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      9561712 Dec 19 08:54 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvcllo.so

All this seems to suggest that I haven't compiled correctly to get the best out of gdb. I've only 
ever used  --enable-dbgutil flag and compiled with

make && make dev-install

As  make dev-install is no obsolete I just compile with 

make

Any thoughts. I must have done something stupid but I can't spot it?
