I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do but you but you only need emacs 22 on your host machine, if you have gdb on your remote machines, and you use a recent version of Tramp, as explained in the Tramp manual: With TRAMP, it is possible to debug programs on remote hosts. You can call `gdb' with a remote file name: M-x gdb Run gdb (like this): gdb --annotate=3 /ssh:host:~/myprog -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
