gdb

I'm trying to run my app on gdb. Therefore I compiled it with the 'g' option. But when I'm running gdb ./app I get:

DW_FORM_strp pointing outside of .debug_str section [in module /home/w/app]

And I cannot do any break:

(gdb) break main
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command. 
(gdb) .

I compiled GDB 7 on a Mac OS X Leopard system. When stepping through a C program, GDB fails to step through 'printf()' statements, which probably don't have associated debug information, and starts printing "Cannot find bounds of current function." Here's some output: $ /usr/local/bin/gdb try1 GNU… >>> More
