I am new to ddd so forgive me if this is obvious, but I am stuck. I am trying to debug a perl script on a remote machine. Both machines have perl, only my local machine is running X. Remote is freeBSD, local is Mac OSX. I am using ssh, which seems to be connecting fine. I get the usual motd etc from the remote machine in the ddd log. My mac is running Apple’s X11 distribution, which is supposedly “standard Xfree86”.
I start it up with the command
ddd –rhost remote.com /home/jacke/t.pl
Where /home/jacke is the path to the script on the remote.
My lower (‘command’?) window displays the perl debugger, which I can interact with normally, stepping through the script. However, I don’t know if this db session is local or remote... Mainly though, nothing is displayed in the main window, nor can I access data through ddd but can by the usual db commands (p $x etc.) in the command window. The buttons for stepping, etc. don’t work either.
I have edited the .ddd/init file for ssh, that seems to be working and connecting fine.
Can someone let me know what I’m doing wrong?
Jack
