KIT DESCRIPTION:
Digital Ladebug for DIGITAL UNIX Systems is a fully symbolic debugger with
graphical user interface (GUI) for the DIGITAL UNIX platform. Key features
of Ladebug allow you to:
* Perform source-level debugging
* Attach to a running process
* Debug programs with shared libraries
* Debug multithreaded applications
* Debug multiprocess applications, including programs that fork/exec
* Perform remote client/server debugging

* Provide I18N support for local language characters
Ladebug supports the debugging of programs written in C, C++, Fortran,
Fortran 90, Ada and COBOL. Ladebug features expression evaluation using the
syntax of the source programming language.
For full information about the Ladebug debugger, please refer to the
following manual (see the "Documentation" section below for how to retrieve
this manual):

WHAT'S NEW AT VERSION 4.0-43:
o Digital has discovered a potential vulnerability with the LADEBUG software,
where under certain circumstances, an unauthorized user may gain
unauthorized privileges. This potential security issue has been resolved
and is no longer present with the installation of this ECO. 27 MAY 1998
o Remote debugging is working again on DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0.
o Command line interface now supports editing of lines which are longer
than screen width.
o Several bugs were fixed. Please refer to the release notes for details.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
o See the release notes for full details about known problems and
restrictions.
GENERAL:
o There is a serious problem with Ladebug running on some hardware running
DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0B. A kernel patch may be necessary. See the release
notes for full details.
o The release of the GUI in these kits works only with the Ladebug debugger
that is included in these kits.
DEC FUSE:
o The release of the GUI in these kits works with DEC FUSE Version V3.1 only.
Please refer to the release notes for details.
C++ Run-Time SUPPORT LIBRARY:
o DEC OSF/1 V3.2 and DIGITAL UNIX V3.2
You must install the 3.0-7 version of the "DEC C++ Class Library, Run-Time
Support" library from a DEC C++ kit. The subset name is CXXSHRDA307. See
the TURRIS::C_PLUS_PLUS Notes Conference for announcements of their kits.
You can retrieve DEC C++ kits from the DEC C/C++ kits web page:

INSTALLATION NOTES:
To install your kit you must be logged in as root, and you must complete the
following steps.
1. Copy the appropriate tar set for the version of the Operating System on
which you will install the kit.
2. Unpack the tar set with this command:
# tar -xvf
You may delete the tar set at this time. (Once you have completed the
installation, you may delete all of the files produced by this step.)
3. Deinstall previous versions of the subsets on this kit (this step is
not necessary if this is your first kit). To see what subsets are
currently installed, issue the following command:
# setld -i | grep LDB
and note which subsets are marked as "installed". Then issue a setld
"delete" command to remove those subsets. For example:
# setld -d LDBBASE3016 LDBGUI3016
4. Finally, to install the current kit, execute the command:
