Hi!
I'm having a very weird problem with gdb. I hadn't used the debugger for some time, so I'm not sure for how long it has been broken... The problem is that the debugged program does not stop in any breakpoing, exception, signal... nothing. Just as if it weren't being debugged. ...
No problem here. gdb 7.6.1-1 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope 1 $ Perhaps you should start with some basic steps. Are you using any repos beyond the 3 basic ones (core, extra, community) ? Re-install gdb the "hard" way: pacman -Suy pacman -R gdb pacman -S gdb find /etc -iname "*.pac*" Verify dependencies: pacman -Qi gdb Verify: $ ls -al /usr/bin/gdb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4634932 Aug 31 06:13 /usr/bin/gdb $ ldd /usr/bin/gdb linux-gate.so.1 (0xb77b0000) libreadline.so.6 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6 (0xb775b000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7756000) libncursesw.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb76f7000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb76e0000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb769a000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb767d000) libpython2.7.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 (0xb74e5000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb74bc000) liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5 (0xb7495000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb72e5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77b1000) libutil.so.1 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb72e0000) $ Verify: $ cat /etc/gdb/gdbinit $ mv .gdbinit .gdbinit-save You can try debugging gdb itself first: $ gdb gdb or $ strace gdb jb
