Is anyone else seeing that on > darwin? Again, you really have to qualify your statement with which version of Darwin you are using. I believe that you are using Snow Leopard whereas things to be OK on Leopard. The problem on Snow Leopard seems to be coming from the fact that the method for giving GDB the priviledges it needs in order to debug the program have changed. AdaCore is planning on looking at that, eventually, but we just won't have the resources to do so for at least a few weeks. -- Joel
