Nope GDB is activated in the compiler options - but the problem persists.
If I wait long enough it does *sometimes* highlight a function to be stepped
into (about a minute with an orange/brown highlight) but usually the ide
just skips the debugger and all the step functions acts like standard
compiles which is completed with "Compile successful"

This is the only stumbling block for me to move all my pascal code and
product development to Lazarus. Kylix is just too slow.

By the way, Kylix does not support includes it seems-or I am probably
missing some configuration)  . I have no problem with includes in Lazarus
which is great.
