Starting program: *name of program*
Cannot exec : No such file or directory.
Program exited with code 0177.
You can''t do that without a process to debug. gdb hates me

I was checking out my landscape engine with valgrind (it works with nvidia drivers! WOOT!) and apparently it found an invalid memory access and threw a segfault. It wouldn''t tell me where it happened (well, it did, but I need more info) so I decided to check it out with gdb. Except now whenever I run gdb and try to "run" the program, I get this error:
are you sure you were in the directory of the executable (shouldn''t hurt, but could help), and jsut ran
gdb name_of_executable
?
gdb name_of_executable
?

Yep, I'm in the right directory and everything.
It seems like gdb gives that error for any program I try to debug, not just my landscape engine.
Edit: I can also try to use gdb through Anjuta and Anjuta gives message boxes with similar messages.
Edit #2: It works when I login as root, but not as a regular user.

Yes, used -g.
It''s wierd, but I completely shut down X and logged back in and it worked. I hope this doesn''t mean I can''t use Valgrind and gdb together without pain and torture.

whoah. At the same time? Of course not. only one process can ptrace-attach to another process.

I don''t mean at the same time, I mean using Valgrind to test it, then exiting Valgrind, then running gdb on the same executable. That''s not a problem, is it?
