I'm having trouble getting gdb to work on a Sun-4/110 (SunOS-4.0). The
.gdbinit file that comes with it seems to generate an error message, and
once the error message has printed, I get a continuous stream of "No display
number 0." messages. I have tried the following commands to compile:
gcc -g -I. (I have fixed includes)
gcc -traditional -g -I.
cc -g -I.
(and I linked with -Bstatic)
And they all work this way. If I get rid of the .gdbinit file, I get a gdb
that accepts commands, but any error message will cause the infinite "No
display number 0." messages.

The Obi-wan Kenobi method: "Use the Source, Luke" -Jim Fultonpaul@cacilj.UUCP (Paul Close) (04/14/89)
I discovered my problem: the egrep I was using was GNU egrep, and I
mistakenly linked it to GNU grep. This caused munch to write a null
init.c file, so nothing was getting initialized! (this is the strangest
method for initialization I've seen yet :-)
Wasn't egrep a link to grep in at least one of the GNU ?grep releases?
I have 1.3, the latest. Obviously not in 1.3.
gdb works just fine now! Thanks, Randy....
