Kernel 2.4.21-4.EL on an i686 Hmm, you need the source code you make your user-defined type, and to have it work you need to compile with exactly the same options. The easiest way to do that is to compile both the server and your lib yourself. That said, it can be done, you just use GDB to attach to the backend and break on your functions. But GBD will probably irritate you unless you compile the server for debugging also. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@xxxxxxxxx> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
