Re: [Help-smalltalk] PG error

[Bèrto ëd Sèra]

Hi!

I suppose a number of people are going to share my ignorance, so I
post this to the general list. I need to produce a gdb trace for a
probable bug in the gst - postgresql interface. This is my first time
ever with gbd, so I dig out a guide for it and find it here:
http://linux.bytesex.org/gdb.html

My software is Ilad based, so it actually runs out of a bash script,
gdb seems to want an executable. So okay, I'll try and make it step by
step. I run (as a normal user)
address@hidden ambaradan]$ gdb gst-remote

dict.c:1863
1863          SET_ASSOCIATION_VALUE (associationOOP, value);

Now... this is obviously a problem with what I'm doing on gdb, since I
never had a problem in executing this command form inside the script.
Where am I going wrong?
