Here is the problem: when I start gdb on my program (that I wrote) I get: warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function. GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers and track explicitly loaded dynamic code. Which is a problem as I use dlopen to load some plugin libraries on my code. I have looked around and seen that others have had this problem, but I have not yet found a solution that works. It seems that the problem is actually with linux-ld.so, which has been stripped of debug info. I've tried downloading the source RPM, but cannot get it to compile. I am using: Linux Mandrake release 7.2 (Odyssey) for i586 Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk on an i686 Any help appreciated. Brett
