Gentle People:

   I am having trouble getting GDB breakpoints
to work on Solaris 64 bit executables.

   Have any of you seen this problem? If yes
what was the work around?

   Are there better debuggers for Solaris 64 bit
executables?

   What debugger do the 64 bit developers use?

   Also please note any Users Manuals for alternate
debuggers.

   Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thomas Dineen
