Mat,

I have tried this in two different environments. Here is what I found:

Centos 5 PGI 7.1-5
The debugger will run the main routine when the shared libraries are in the default library directory (/usr/lib) but the debugger cannot find the source for the libraries.
I still get a library load error of a NULL address in the command window.

Centos 5 PGI 7.2-5 (Trial license)
The debugger will run the main routine if the shared library is in the default library directory (/usr/lib) and it also finds the library source.

Hopefully this will help.

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for the information. The tools team has made several improvements in regards to shared library debugging, but obviously have some room for improvements.

I've made our Tool's manager aware of the additional problems. However, they are currently hard at work on some very cool (and useful!) improvements to the PGI profiler (PGPROF) so addition improvements to shared library debugging wont be available for the PGI 8.0 release. I do apologize for the inconvenience and hope the 7.2 release will be sufficient for now.

Best Regards,
Mat
