Hi,

I am using the gdb debugger and get the following error message:

Missing debug package(s), you should install: glibc-debug. The debugger stars and runs, but can't be sure what is caused by program under test and what is related to the error message.

I am using Spring 2009.

I have searched for a package including this verbiage in the software maintenance tool and there is no such package. Can anyone explain why this is occuring?

Thanks,

Mike Grello

*-debug packages are in the debug repo's, which should be available on
most mirrors in the /media directory for your arch. You can add them
as sources using urpmi.addmedia or just download the packages that you
require and install them using urpmi.

See http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/SoftwareMedia#Debug_sections

Basically, you will want to add debug_main, debug_contrib and/or
debug_non-free to your list of rpm media.
