DDD is waiting for GDB to get Ready

Hello,

I'm attempting to use the DDD program. After launching it from the shell I try to set a breakpoint on a source code file and when I click run it hangs and says Waiting until GDB gets ready. I cannot do anything inside the program except quit (and even that takes a while). Can someone tell me why this is happening please?

Does DDD (Data Display Debugger) have a config file? Look for a dot file in your home directory? Look at the config file, see if anything to change. Try moving the config file to different name and see if that helps.

Deleting the .ddd folder seemed to solve it. I couldn't see it through the shell so I had to go to my windows machine to delete it. I hope it's fixed now. Thanks !

In the future, try ls -a , which will show all folders and files, including those beginning with .
