Thread: GDB X Postgresql 8 - Failed to read a valid object file image from memory

Hi!

 

I tried to use GDB with postgresql 8 and I didnt have success.

Can you help me?

I tried like as I did in postgresql 7.4

I run configure like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql8 --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-depend

After, I run "make", "make install", "initdb"

After this, I tried run gdb, but I dont enter in backend.

See this:

postgres@debian:/home/anacrl$ gdb postgres

(gdb) run

Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
LOG:  database system was shut down at 2008-05-01 22:56:41 BRT
LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections

So, I think that have something wrong (Failed to read a valid object file image from memory).

Can you help me?

I tried run psql and attached process pid too, but no success. :-(

 

Thanks,
