Thanks, I will try this today evening, however I already done the following: start gschem - it runs OK start gdb on different terminal gdb> attach pid_of_gschem gdb> continue load big symbol to gschem - and it is OK play with schematic, then quit gdb> program terminated normally
But If don't attach gdb to running gschem it fails as I said. I think that this might be specific to my system, but I'm not sure. I will send a backtrace today in evening, but I am not sure if gschem fails when I run it from gdb...
