GPS and Fedora Core 3 - no /dev/pty??

GPS and Fedora Core 3 - no /dev/pty??

[Dr. Adrian Wrigley]

Hi guys!

I just installed gps 2.1.0 on a Fedora Core 3 (i686) system,
but have run into the problem running in the debugger:

(gdb) run input.txt
/dev/ptypd: No such file or directory.


Program exited with code 01.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb) 

This problem has been encountered by others, but no solution
seems to have been found.

See:

Does anyone here know the answer?

Thanks in advance!

Just for the record, this happens as well in Mandrake 10.0

Not here. Fortunately I haven't had the need to use the debugger lately 
;) But sure I'm interested too.
