KDevelop debugger setup problem

[vieraci]

Yes, when debug is started, a "Variables" tab is added to the left of the IDE. I manually added it in that window and also by hilighting the variable in the source code window and add it from the popup menu. Both methods give the same result.

Although I deleted the watch entries, closed the project and re-built it, the same error dialog still pops up every time the variable is accessed in a debug session.

While the app is running, the Breakpoint icon in the source window is red.

Another odd thing, in the IDE Debug pulldown menu, the available options are:
Stop
Interrupt
Set Execution position to cursor
Restart

But these menu options are disabled:
Run to cursor
Step Over
Step over instruction
Step Into
Step Into Instruction
Step out

For what it's worth, the Shell window that opens doesn't seem to do anything. It's just a blank shell with no prompt, nothing gets sent to it.

Just now as I closed the running app, KDevelop debug dialog reported numerous error messages, all the same:
No registers

Then the debugger encountered an internal error reported by gdb, "Please submit a bug report".
