Or you can just type % gdb and specify the core and symbol files as follows in gdb itself: (gdb) symbol-file /path/to/sylpheed.debug (gdb) core-file /path/to/core There's usually a steep learning curve associated with gdb. Some searches on google can help you find usefull information on how to use it.
