Gdb and g95

[Mannucci, Anthony J (335G)]

I have installed gdb and fortran compiler g95 using macports. The debugger
does not function with the fortran compiler. It does function with gcc
compiling c programs.

Nor does the standard gdb that ships with Apple developer tools work. The
Apple gdb cannot set breakpoints in the fortran code. I have tried both the
gfortran and g95 (Macports) compilers, and neither works with gdb.

This is OS X leopard 10.5.x.

Compiling as follows:
g95 -g -c test4.f
g95 -g test4.o -o test4.e

Macintosh-10:382:tests $ which gdb
/opt/local/bin/gdb

Invoking gdb on the file test4.e yields the following error message.

Macintosh-10:383:tests $ gdb test4.e

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

================================
This is the error I received trying to build gdb on my own. Debugging
fortran code on Darwin has proved to be a challenge.
