Re: [Bubblemon-list] bubblemon 1.2.7 and 1.2.8 crashing

[Johan Walles]

The binary that crashed for you (usr/bin/bubblemon-gnome1) has been 
stripped.  This means it contains no debug information.  If you do "file 
/usr/bin/bubblemon-gnome1"; "file" tells you that bubblemon-gnome1 is 
stripped.

The reason gdb choose /usr/bin/bubblemon-gnome1 instead of the binary 
you just built is that since it couldn't find any bubblemon-gnome1 in 
the current directory it started looking for it at other places (and 
thus got the wrong one).  If you first cd into the directory where your 
newly built binary is (bubblemon-1.2.8/src or something along those 
lines), and then do "gdb bubblemon-gnome1", you'll get at the correct 
binary (i.e. the one with debug information).

  Cheers //Johan
