Re: Whay can't GDB or DDD find my source code?

[Matthew Dalton <matthewd@research.canon.com.au>]

Do you even have an executable file called 'foo' there? The -o option
should be immediately followed by the name (which, by your examples is
either -g or -ggdb). Try compiling with:

$ gcc -g -o foo foo.c
