Hi all,
This have been my headache for a week. Did anybody ever face this?
I use Kdevelop and Eclipse to run a C++ project which uses xerces-c shared library ( an XML parser from Apache). For both IDEs, the Build is perfectly ok, but it cannot run and debug gives the errors:

in Eclipse:
....
A syntax error in expression, near `-console'.
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
Stopped due to shared library event

in Kdevelop:

It seems to me that the shared library ( which is xerces-c.so.27) was well recognized at the Build time but was unable to locate at run time. I already used several versions but got the same problem. Btw, I use SUSE 10.2.

It looks like this might be a gdb (gdb 6.5) and/or kernel (2.6.18 - 2.6.20) issue:

Thanks alot for your reply.
My SUSE 10.2 has gdb version 6.5 and kernel 2.6.18 -> that may cause problem as they said.
So I've try: SUSE 10.1 with gdb 6.4 and kernel 2.6.16; SUSE 10.0 with gdb 5.5 or so, and kernel 2.6.13;
Result: the same.
I also worked around by using ar creating and using static library of xerces-c (from the *.o files which are generated from building shared library). And it still says "Stopped due to shared library event"

I'm i a desperate situation. Did anybody ever use xerces-c in SUSE???

Any luck in fixing this?

I am having a similar problem with Eclipse/photran in Debian Etch, which came with kernel 2.6.18-3-686 and gdb 6.4.90.dsfg-1
When I debug, it says this:

No symbol "new" in current context.
No source file named mainsw.f.
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
Stopped due to shared library event
No source file named mainsw.f.
Stopped due to shared library event

but then sometimes it runs, but doesn't stop at my breakpoints.
mainsw.f is the source file with the PROGRAM statement.

Doing an 'ldd <my-executable> shows this:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libimf.so => /opt/intel/fc/9.0/lib/libimf.so (0xb7db1000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7d79000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7c48000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f90000)

The last entry in the bug at the launchpad.net link provided by paulsm4 indicates that kernel 2.6.20 fixes the problem.
