Need help with gdbtui - gnu debugger on linux

I ssh into a remote linux sever from my Mac, and run gdbtui to debug a program. The source code displays, but the cursor line in the source code window frequently is not highlighted. I can enter commands such as 'next' and 'list' in the command line window, but the source code window doesn't redraw correctly. It sometimes shows lin开发者_Go百科es in the source file out of order (the line numbers are displayed out of order.)

I have my TERM environment variable set to xterm-16color which vim is very happy to use. I'm at a loss as to what I should try.

gdb in ordinary command-line mode works fine.

Ideas?

What gdb version are you using? Try the latest one. At least gdb 6.5 had similar problems with tui mode.

I have the exact same configuration as you: I ssh into an Ubuntu server (currently 11.10) from a Mac and I'm currently experimenting with gdbtui.

I recommend that you use iterm2 as your Apple Terminal replacement. Besides 256 colors and a ton of other features, it seems to play decently with gdbtui (line highlighting is fine).
