Yesterday, I updated the install script at http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/build/install-build-deps.sh Please let me know, if you encounter any problems and I'll fix them.
It now installs not only the libraries necessary to build Chromium, it also installs the debugging symbols for these libraries. This will give you correct line number information when tracing through system libraries (e.g. GTK or SSL). In some cases, this will also give you correct stack traces where you weren't able to get these earlier. You can even see the source code for the system libraries in GDB. Just use "apt-get source" to download the sources to anywhere on your system, and then point GDB to it using the "dir" command. You can put this command into your "~/.gdbinit" file. So, you don't have to do that each time you start GDB. As before, the script only works on Ubuntu. It probably works on any Debian based system, but that is untested. Please note that Ubuntu does not by default ship 32bit versions of all the system libraries, if you are running a 64bit operating system. The script knows about this and downloads the Debian packages for the 32bit distribution and then repackages the library files on the fly. This temporarily requires downloading a lot of data. You might not want to do this, if you are on a slow Internet connection. The script prompts you and you can opt out.
