Yep. That's notepad for you. Thanks.

I've finally got KDbg installed thanks to rpmfind and added the -g switch:

c++ -c -I$KDEDIR/include -I$QTDIR/include -fno-rtti -g main.cpp -o main.o
$QTDIR/bin/moc khello.h -o khello.moc
c++ -c -I$KDEDIR/include -I$QTDIR/include -fno-rtti -g khello.cpp -o khello.o
c++ -L$KDEDIR/lib -L$QTDIR/lib -lkdeui -lkdecore -lqt-mt -ldl -o khello -g main.o khello.o

I've opened the executable in Kdbg but I can't run, step into etc -- does the g switch need to be in a particular place?

Cheers!

Martin

\r? The only thing I can think of is that you wrote your scripts in a 
DOS-style editor, so the lines end in \r\n instead of \n. The \r is 
taken to be a part of the filename instead of line-termination.

No, what you're doing works, but it's not the recommended way. You 
should be using -L/blah -lfoo to link to /blah/libfoo.so. What you're 
missing is telling the dynamic loader where to find those libraries.

One alternative is to add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf. Another is 
to specify it in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. A third, and this is what KDE uses 
for its own libraries, is to replace -L with -R. That'll make the 
linker generate an RPATH symbol on the ELF header with the pathname of 
where to find hte library.

That looks like stack corruption. You'll have to run the program 
step-by-step on the debugger and tell us what line is faulting. Add 
breakpoints to your slots.

Hint: never set the geometry by hand. Prefer to use grids in your 
dialogs. Better yet, use .ui files.
