Yes, you need to debug them, because they are not self-contained, the interact with the rest of the system. So what the C file does in your system is not what it does on my system; it depends on countless other things, such as configuration. > When blame the C file here, do not forget most of the program you use > is using C.

Code is code, language doesn't make a piece of code more share-able between distros than others. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
