There was no option for 6.0 on the powertools bug report area. So I put it under 5.2. I hope this still is ok. When I install a default install of 6.0 on a machine and then add in ddd from the 6.0 powertools tree it can't start gdb, or at least it says that, when started. The odd thing is that from the command line I can fire off gdb no problem. DDD just seems to not be able to.
This was reported in ddd's bugtraq. It is fixed in the next release in Powertools. The suggested patch is at http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd/ddd-bugs/2545.html from one of the users. If you don't want to apply the patch, get v3.1.5 at: ftp://ftp.ips.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/softech/ddd/ddd-3.1.5.tar.gz , or wait until the next powertools release
*** Bug 3926 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I installed ddd from you "Linux Powertools" which was part of RH6.0 Extra package. However if I try to start it I get an error message that "perl" or "gdm" could not be started. On the terminal where I start the ddd I get following line: perl: cannot open /dev/pts/1: Input/output error (or same starting with gdb). On this host use ready kernel from your errata pages: 2.2.5- 22 ------- Additional Comments From timp 08/05/99 15:31 ------- Please see bug 4292.
