A core dump >alone really tells me nothing. > The -g option used when compiling specifies that the modules should be compiled with debugging information. This option allows you to determine where your program crashed if you get a core dump. After it happens, try typing dbx circle and then (if successful) type where and it should tell you rather specifically where your program crashed. Also, although I haven't read it recently, I believe one of the files in the docs directory talks a great deal about system utilities you can use when you are having trouble coding. It would probably be worth your time to read what is written there. -- -Mathue Moyer -mathue@ucsd.edu
