>Organization:
>Environment:
Sun Solaris 10, X86
>Description:
the GDb was built using 
./configure
make 
make install

as prescribed by the intallation info.  The gdb was configured as "i386-pc-solaris2.10".  However, when we run GDN against an executable, we got the error in the Synopsis, and the symtab is not read.  line 6004 of gdb/dwarf2read.c,
dwarf2_per_objfile->str_size is 0.

dbx, which comes with the Sun packaged software, works fine on that executable.

however, GDB works fine on our small test prgrams.
