Hi. I had gdb working fine under my previous installation (slackware 2.0,
linux 1.2.8) but I now have problems under slackware 3.0 and linux 1.2.13.
Forstly, gdb wont recognize the fortran source file when I try to read it
in with the command "file wavefit3.f" - it tells me that the file isn't
in executable format (no shit!). Has this command changed to anyones knowledge?

Also, in xxgdb, when the window first pops up the local echo seems to be
on when it shouldn't, i.e. I get

XXGDB comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Pretty whacky eh? And if I go to 'commands' and hit the 'file' button, xxgdb
crashes completely with a segmentation violation.

Any ideas out there?
