Re: Problem: execution doesn;t come to the breakpoint

I have had similar annoying problems in the past, and never fully been 
able to determine their cause.  Generally, my workaround has been to 
trying startding ddd in the directory with the source files, and so the 
problem is clearly associated with search paths.  But it would be nice 
if this were fixed.  The other problem I see commonly is that the 
program stops but the cursor is not at the breakpoint but somewhere 
considerably higher up in the code.  next usually brings the cursor 
where it ought to be.    Knox Long
