Very Computer

I am using:
gdb 4.15.1 (i486-slackware-linux)
gcc 2.7.2 (i486)

I can run my app from within gdb and debug normally.  Then I run my app
from the command line and it crashes, generating a core file.  When I try
and debug the crash using:
gdb my_app core
it gives the error:
Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format

I have tried compiling with -g, -ggdb, -g -ggdb all to no avail.  I would
greatly appreciate help getting my core files to work.  If you need more
information please e-mail or post.

GDB 4.15 is from some years ago.  This error message is symptomatic of
major version skew.  Try 4.17, available almost everywhere...

Thank you! got it from sunsite, compiled and run from a local dir...works
like a champ.  Now if I can get my admin to install it in /usr/bin...
