I use gdb's command line interface and understand you :-) I suggest you try out Eclipse together with the CDT (C/C++) module. CDT 4.0 made a big progress, it is fully graphical, cross platform, ... IDE. It's really great. It doesn't always work properly with a free Java implementation as found in many Linux distributions but now that Java is relicensed to GPL there will be a lot of progress.
Two things, Last time I looked Eclipse did not support relative paths (seriously, I also recall this was a 'feature') rendering it unusable for any of the projects I was involved in - YMMV There is an IDE with a reasonable debugger UI for gdb in CodeBlocks which is worth a try (it's even written in C++). It is in the spirit of C++BuilderX if anyone remembers that IDE. I use CB now as my main IDE even on Windows, though for debugging on Windows VC++ is a clear winner. Apologies for being drawn into this OT thread... ;) Jamie
