Dear Nick, M-x gud-gdb does not work at all. This is the error I get: call-interactively: Autoloading failed to define function gud-gdb Yes I agree this shouldn't be considered a bug. However I imagine it should be relatively easy to fix since idb provides a gdb compatibility mode (see the -gdb flag in the debugger command) and would make many users happy. I may try to learn some lisp and look into this problem myself although revision 1.136 has everything I need.
