Very nice to hear that :-)

Many RedHat users have problems with the KDE packages that RedHat builds. 
They put very little effort in creating the packages and they don't support 
KDE in any way :-( Other distributions like SuSE and Mandrake give a lot 
attention to KDE and create much better packages.

Euuh... is gdb installed on your system? Try this 'rpm -qa | grep gdb', the 
result must be something like 'gdb-<version>'. If you don't get this, gdb 
isn't installed. Download the gdb-<version>.rpm package and install it on 
your computer. That should help...

I don't know nblug.org, but you will find the gdb package on the official 
redhat ftp site ftp://ftp.redhat.com : you'll find it somewhere in 
/pub/redhat/redhat-7.2-en/os/

I hope this helps...
