Right - firefox3 is a script that sets up a couple environment variables and runs the real binary. You need to gdb the real binary (which is in /usr/local/lib/firefox or somesuch - its not in any remotely normal $PATH). Since the environment stuff the script does is required for it to start, temporarily editing the script and running firefox3 is probably the easiest thing to do. -- Rob Farmer _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
