gdb-5.1 internal error

[Oleg Terletsky]

VERSION: gdb-5.1

 

CONFIGURE:

 

configure --host=alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d --norecursion

 

 

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

 

I tried to analyze some core file and I got the following message.

Could you explain what does it mean?

 

warning: big endian file does not match little endian target.
Core was generated by `gdb'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
Reading symbols from /usr/shlib/libm.so...mdebugread.c:2443: gdb-internal-error: s
ect_index_data not initialized

 

An internal GDB error was detected.  This may make further
debugging unreliable.  Continue this debugging session? (y or n)

 

 

Thanks, Oleg
