wishlist for gdb ....

[Vardhan Varma <vardhan@cadence.com>]

       for last year, i've been working with Sun's dbx.
       I found the intergration with ksh a very nice idea.
       (there were a few problems too, but all in all, it _is_
       a nice idea ... )

       Here are some magic possible, by ksh integration ,
       i would like to know how to achieve similar things in
       gdb.

    1. (dbx) $(funcs .*foo.*bar.* | sed 's/^/stop in/')
       this will set break points in all 
       functions matching .*foo.*bar !!!
       (okay not exactly this, but something similar (-; )

   2.  how to grep help's output ??
       help show | grep arg ?????
       or even setenv PAGER=xless displays help in seperate
       xless window.

Subject: configure problem


I recently d/led a release of insight/gdb and am having a configure
problem.  When I run configure in the base directory, I get the following
error:


loading cache ../config.cache within ltconfig
./../ltconfig: ./../ltcf-c.sh: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed
Configure in /usr/src/insight+dejagnu-20000924/opcodes failed, exiting.


The contents of config.status is
./configure --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --norecursion 



Am I missing some important file?


Thanks,
