B.2 Is it a DDD Bug?
====================

Before sending in a bug report, try to find out whether the problem
cause really lies within DDD.  A common cause of problems are
incomplete or missing X or M*tif installations, for instance, or bugs
in the X server or M*tif itself.  Running DDD as

     $ ddd --check-configuration

   checks for common problems and gives hints on how to repair them.

   Another potential cause of problems is the inferior debugger;
occasionally, they show bugs, too.  To find out whether a bug was
caused by the inferior debugger, run DDD as

     $ ddd --trace

   This shows the interaction between DDD and the inferior debugger on
standard error while DDD is running.  (If `--trace' is not given, this
interaction is logged in the file `~/.ddd/log'; Note: Logging)
Compare the debugger output to the output of DDD and determine which
one is wrong.
