Re: threads/2292: GDB process stops when debugging threaded program

Hi,

  As this issue came up again, I've checked with DDD folks,
since DDD
steps through threads successfully. DDD does use gdb as
debugging
engine, so clearly it does some configuraiton. We didn't
figure out
what exactly DDD does, but the effect of it is that gdb
locates
/lib/libthread_db.so.1. Thus it looks like my problem can
be
re-formulated 

 How to make gdb locate libpthread_db library?

Take a look at the messages from the first message you
posted about
the bug.  GDB already was finding libthread_db.so.1.  If it
can't, it
will let you know loudly.
