The error is : In file included from breakpoint.c:36: gdb_string.h:46: macro `strdup' used without args make: *** [breakpoint.o] Error 1 Can u help me in this problem and tell me what to do so that i am successful in installing the debugger. Hope to hear from you as early as possible. Thanks Bharat
