RE: GPS Debug Problems

I think I found the pronlem. Problem seems to be the casing. Gdb converts everything to lower case. İf i ask gdb top pring the related variable in lower case it returs th value. But if i ask the variable in the original casing  (it is always mixed because of styling issues)then it says  "No symbol "variabl_name" in current context". In GPS case, i think gps always asks the variables in their original casing in print and display operations and it causes the problem. Any suggestion to solve it?

My guess is that either
   - you don't have an ada-aware version of "gdb" in your PATH (GPS uses gdb as debugging engine), or
   - the debug information generated by your version of GNAT is not correct

(but the first guess is more likely the right one)
