Do you mean you have never worked with a debugger?

I'm not certain, but that assertion should then call abort(), which 
means a core file will be dumped.  (Just do ulimit -c 50000  in your 
shell before you run make, to be sure core files are not disabled on 
your distro).

then you can do gdb -c core.xxx -se /path/to/make

then "bt" to get the backtrace of the assert.
