Hmm... when there's going to be a DDD FAQ, this one should be in it.

Quoting myself from
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ddd/2002-03/msg00002.html :

:That message is from gdb, rather than DDD. It indicates you are on a system
:whose C runtime library contains symbols to support debugging (i.e. it has
:not been stripped), but you do not have the sources to the C library
:installed. This occurs e.g. on Red Hat Linux. IMHO there is no reason for
:the regular C runtime library to contain debugging symbols and I'm happy
:that the distribution I use (Debian GNU/Linux) does not include them.

HTH,
Ray
