Hi Marc,
Many thanks, debugging now works fine for me.

I used the original version of gdb from SuSE 7.3 (V. 5.0). Since version 
5.1.1 of gdb the -mi-interface is enabled by default, so my version needs a 
./configure --enable_gdbmi to get lazarus debugging working.
I downloaded V5.3, now all works great for my things.

Many thanks generally to all developers of lazarus!

Jens During.
