I am working in RedHat Linux EL 4/5 with gcc 323/411/412 in C++/C/CORBA with multi-threading. Would you please recommand the best debugger in Linux? Thank you in advance.

Have you tried gdb (possibly in conjunction with ddd) yet?

I use gdb directly myself (ddd is just a frontend for it), and can't tell you much about possibly available alternatives. If you use the GCC to compile your sourcecode, you should stick with gdb anyway, and maybe have a peek at utilities that advance its ease of use for you. (Searching your distro's repositories for "gdb" may yield some good starting points.)

Thank you for the suggestions. Then I think I will stay with gdb/ddd.
