To: gdb-patches@sourceware.org Reply-to: Eli Zaretskii Message-id: <83vbq0ju7k.fsf@gnu.org> X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2014-08/txt/msg00174.txt.bz2 Someone tried to run GDB 7.8 that I built with Guile support without installing Guile first. (libguile was statically linked into GDB, so no shared library was needed.) They reported that GDB bailed out with the following error message: Throw without catch before boot: Throw to key misc-error with args ("primitive-load-path" "Unable to find file ~S in load path" ("ice-9/boot-9") #f)Aborting. AFAIR, a snapshot I built about 2 months ago didn't bail out, it just printed a warning that Guile support will be partial. Is it possible to avoid the fatal error in this case?
