If anyone is still having this problem (as I just had), I have found that the solution explained here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1446828 solves it.
Basically, you have to comment lines 51 and 52, the ones dealing with multiarch, in /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py After doing that, pretty printers should work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473599 Title: gdb complains about missing Python module libstdcxx.v6.printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1473599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
