[CIG-SHORT] Re: PyLith BC help

[Rick Bennett]

I don't have a lot of experience with this debugger.  Here is a test  
with the unix "more" command:

pace:~/Documents/Writing/ExtensionModels/pylith_earthquake rab$ gdb more
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-573) (Fri Oct 20 15:50:43

(gdb) start
Function "main" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
Starting program: /usr/bin/more
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
Missing filename ("less --help" for help)

Program exited normally.
(gdb) quit
