DDD 3.3.9 crashes upon launch

[Vikrant Grover]

Hi,

 

I just built DDD v3.3.9 on Sun Solaris 2.9 but it crashes upon launch.  The stack trace is given below.  It crashes even if I try to invoke it as “./ddd –-configuration”  or “./ddd cxxtest” as mentioned in the file INSTALL.  Install it doesn’t help either and same crash recurs.  I tried to debug the crash using the insight debugger and found that it happens during the instantiation of a std string named NO_GDB_ANSWER (given below).  The output of the configure script is also given below. Please help me resolve this problem.  I’ll try building v3.3.12 today.

 

 

Stack trace:
