With "console window" I was referring to the "terminal output" debug 
window.

What setting would that be? Are you possibly referring to the "run 
parameters" dialog and the "launching application" setting? Activating 
that gives the following error:

"/usr/bin/gnome-terminal": not in executable format: File format not 
recognized

Switching to xterm does not help. Then I get:

The GDB command:
"info address main"
returned the error:
",msg="No symbol \"main\" in current context.""
