Joshua meant for you to run it in gdb with that option, but it might not be very helpfull if you didn't compile with CFLAGS=-g But you can try it anyay: gdb ../bin/httpd (gdb) run -X <likely to give a segmentation fault> (gdb) bt and send the information it gives here. Another option would be to: to use strace|truss|whatever your system uses to trace system call strace ../bin/httpd -X Which might give you a lot of information which will very likely be to much to post here. > Pretend like I'm NOT some C-code guru, and explain to me what I need > to do, because it doesn't seem like doing what the docs say is > helping. *chuckle* Isn't there anything about debugging in the documentation? -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer>
