Re: how do you start up DDD?

Hi,

In step 3 you said that did a "configure" and "make" but no "make install"
after that.To install the compiled programs(ddd) you need to give the
command "make install".
This will install the ddd binary in you /usr/local/bin.

Also to verify you ddd binary is build properly, after doing a make you can
do a "make check".This creates a sample C++ program `cxxtest' and then runs
DDD on it by invoking `./ddd cxxtest'.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Shaunak
