Debug libraries

[enno]

I am trying to debug a program which uses Qt 4.6.3 (x86_64) but gdb does not recognize any Qt symbols. I understand that some distributions contain only release libraries and my distriburion (SuSE 11.3) looks like being one of those.

Can debug libraries be downloaded from somwhere or is the only way of getting them a compile from source.

In both cases where should these libraries be installed and are any changes to mkspecs required?

I found the web extremely quiet on this subject.

Any help appreciated.

Just install the development packages for Qt4.(Look it up in the package manager)
It will install the debug libs.
You may want to install the source as well.

Sounds very logical. Refreshed package qt4-devel but still get

warning: can't find linker symbol for virtual table for `Frame' value
warning: RTTI symbol not found for class 'QImage'

warning: can't find linker symbol for virtual table for `Frame' value
warning: RTTI symbol not found for class 'QImage'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Looking at filelist libQtCore.so is installed in/usr/lib64 but as far as I can see that is the normal link to libQtCore.so.4.6.3 and not any debug library.

Starts looking like a SuSE problem ??

Definitively not.
It has been some time since I have dealt with SUSE.
Maybe the debug version is an extra package.

If all fails, you can just recompile from source with the debug flag set.

But I am sure some other users who use SUSE regularly will comment here too.
