When I use the NeXT gdb on my C++ code (from within Emacs) and try to set breakpoints, gdb complains that my source files don't exist. This doesn't happen when I try to debug Objective-C code. Thanks, Stuart

Thanks, > > Stuart This error has nothing to do with C++ -- you havent told gdb where it can find all the source that you are debugging. Look at the 'dir' command. I have used gdb extensively in debugging C++. It knows how to display classes, etc.
