I have tried both gdb-5.3 and gdb-6.0 (last night's CVS image) and end up with the same "Cannot insert breakpoint" error. Searching the gdb mailing list, reveals many other people getting the same error and the gdb bug database has several bugs related to this. > > Does gdb support debugging 64-bit Solaris binaries or am I trying to make it do something it can't do? > > Here's another example of the error: > > [caude@phobos]$ more hello.c > #include > > int > main(int argc, char **argv) > { > printf ("Hello World\n"); > } > [caude@phobos]$ gcc-3.2 -m64 -g -o hello hello.c > [caude@phobos]$ gdb64-5.3 hello > GNU gdb 5.3 > Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are > welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. > Type "show copying" to see the conditions. > There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.

Exit anyway? (y or n) y Was GDB configured with: CC="gcc -m64" .../configure before the build? It oterwize won't groak a 64 bit binary. I people are noticing bugs in the sparc but not much is happening to fix them :-( Andrew
