Hi,
I'd try to install gdb 6.2(last version)on hp 11.11 but with no success.
Is it possible to install gdb with hp 11.11 or it's a bad install of myself.
Thanks very much for your help.

regards,
Gerald (France)

Your corefile is not in a full format so that it can be debugged with gdb there. ulimit for corefile is not appropriate to have all core informations there.

Increase core file size as,

# Limit viewing
ulimit -Hc # Hard limit
ulimit -Sc # Soft limit

# Limit change to unlimited
ulimit -c unlimited

You can define hard limit, soft limit there with -Hc / -Sc

While executing core file you have to do with binary file which made that core file.

You can identify the binary file as,

# file core
# what core

IT will give the binary which caused core file creation there.

# GDB Debugging

gdb
gdb> bt

IT will give you back trace there. You can start to debug there.

HTH.
