DDD debugger problem

[Ioannis Hadjichambis]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am trying to debug my program using the DDD debugger. I have also
downloaded a manual for the debugger but I cannot RUN my
program in the debugger. I use the -g flag when compiling. I then write 
to the command line
> ddd table2
Then the debugger pops up and i press Programs->Run where it asks for 
arguments and because my program doesn't need any, I don't provide it 
with any and so I check the blank line.

I always get the following:

Program terminated with signal ?, Unknown signal.
The program no longer exists.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb) set args
(gdb) run
warning: Child process unexpectedly missing: No child processes

Program terminated with signal ?, Unknown signal.
The program no longer exists.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)

I don't understand why.

Do you have any suggestions?

Kindest regards,

John.
