Hi, I was never able to make ddd run on my mac. And even running gdb is
difficult, with the code signing and so on. Apple is really pushing
lldb. When I need to use ddd and its plotting capabilities, I use a
linux virtual machine. Sorry for not giving a solution. Just wanted to
share my experience with you.

Greetings!
I'm brushing off my assembly language skills by building a Forth
interpreter from scratch on my Mac (V. 11.6). The commands to build
the
executable are:
nasm -g -f macho64 -o forth.o forth.asm
ld -macosx_version_min 11.0.0
-L/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib -lSystem
-o forth forth.o
After a few days with lldb (which runs very nicely on that
executable) I
decided to give ddd a try. I ran "brew install ddd" and that ran
cleanly. Then when I tried to debug my NASM assembly language program
with "ddd forth" (and also just "ddd"), I got this:
======
$ddd forth

"ddd --manual" actually worked but I couldn't figure out how to
navigate
it (I haven't used GNU's info format in a couple of decades--sorry).
