Re: no symtab found (ddd, AIX, xlC, gcc)

Arnaud,

One more clarification. My executable uses some static
lib files (build by me). Dbx is complaining about
having trouble read a cpp file that is in the static
lib. I do not know if I can set location of the src
files in the .dbxrc or .dbxinit. I am hoping I can use
SRCDIR or whatever to set the path. Thanks

Regards
Kathy
