Hello, Im pretty new to GDB and Linux overall. I am trying to debug my 'first' 
program using GDB. I compiled a simple helloworld program using "gcc -g 
Hello.c". The debugging "works" since I can step through the code but instead 
of printing the next line to be executed properly while Im stepping, gdb 
prints something unreadable as seen below : 

Breakpoint 1, main () at Hello.c:20
â–’â–’/home/nismael/My Programs/HelloWorld/Hello.c:20:277:beg:0x804844a

Im using n to step through the code and the code Im stepping through has 
definitely been compiled for debugging (-g). Any ideas on what Im doing 
wrong?

Thx!

How did you start GDB?  Do you have a bad .gdbinit file?  You seem to
be in annotation mode.
