gdb has not been merged upstream yet making inclusion in the Debian package difficult. However, hppa-linux support is in pehc cvs(see the parisc-linux.org web page for details). I have also produced a Debian package by installing to pseudoroot, tar'ing it up and using alien to convert it. It's not pretty but it works. This package is available at, ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/debian/unofficial-debs/ gdb-hppa_5.0-4.pehc.2_hppa.deb > Furthermore, I need a cross-debugger, specifically I need > an hppa -> X86 gdb cross debugger.

No, as I said above, no upstream version of gdb contains the hppa-linux support currently. -- Matt Taggart Linux Development Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] HP Linux Systems Operation
