I used to work with DDD on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 with both gdb and dbx ,
with the Sun compilers
I have upgraded my system with Solaris 2.8 and the Forte 6 compiler
suite
I also installed DDD 3.3 and gdb5.0
It turns out that DDD works apparently fine with dbx , supplied by
Sun , but not with gdb.
gdb does not seem to recognize properly the executable despite the
-g -xs compile flag.
when I load an executable I do get the following information in the
main DDD window ( instead of the actual code )

does gdb works fine with the Sun compilers ( Forte 6) on Solaris
8 ?
or am I missing some compilation options or flags, apart from -g
-xs ?
do you have any clue
thanks
