several ways to debug pd externals with gdb:
- crash the external (with asserts)
- declare pending breakpoint, that are resolved after the shared
library
has been loaded
- set breakpoint after the dlopen stuff, when the symbols are
available
- break manually after the external has been loaded and the symbols
are
available
- use the gdb integration into your favorite ide to set breakpoints in
source files. (should work with about every decent ide like emacs,
eclipse, kdevelop)

Just to add to the fun... I've NEVER been able to get teh debugger to
see Pd externals. I can debug Pd itself on linux and Mac OK. The
only thing I've found is that, on Mac, it's important to be sure
not to 'debug' the GUI process instead of Pd by accident.

Still can't get the bugger to set a break point though. GDB was
helpfully in that once PD died I could at least the back trace.
...did you compile pd with "-g -O0"? Are you stripping symbols
somewhere? What platform are you trying to debug on?
