Problems with DDD

[Lisa Onnen]

Hi,

I have just moved onto a new machine and my DDD isn't working properly 
and I can't figure out how to fix it.

My software setup is a binary with libraries that it calls.  Most times 
the bugs are in the libraries.  For some reason when I do a ddd on the 
binary it won't load the libraries (but that's a story for another day.

I am running on Suse7.2 i686,  when I do a help on DDD I get
   GNU DDD 3.3 (i386-suse-linux)
I don't know if that's relevant.

So, if my program segment faults, I get the following:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x404b0b65 in editDialog_set_cliSection (client_code=Cannot access 
memory at address 0xc3ffda44
) at VPS_editDialog.c:564
/home2/lisao/linux_vps/src/lib/3msdisplay/VPS_editDialog.c:564:16984:beg:0x404b0b65
(gdb) Junk at end of line specification.

And then I can't view any code or it doesn't point to anything.  ddd 
just stops working although it is still available to run the program 
again from start.

If I have a breakpoint in the library, I get the following dialog:
DDD: No Source
[][]/home2/lisao/linux_vps/build/SuSE7.2/bin/10/18 14: No such file or 
directory

and then DDD is sitting where the breakpoint should be, but there is no 
arrow and you can't tell where DDD is.

I also get:
what looks like control characters in front of commands with upright 
rectangles in front of the lines, the following is at startup.  This 
also occurs in front of the above breakpoint in the library (it wasn't a 
typo)
[][]/home2/lisao/linux_vps/src/bin/3msdisplay/VPS_main.c:486:13258:beg:0x804c4f3

Can you offer any suggestions,

Thank you for any help in advance,

Lisa
