As for satisfying - do you know about the 'devel' (For Fedora) versions of 
libraries required? I found it very frustrating the messages saying "Package 
XXX required", while actually it is XXX-devel required.
When I install 'devel' packages, it usually compiles ok.

I did not tried the 4.7.1 version - a lot of work, while I am in the dreadful 
lack of time.
Another issue is the ARM toolchain. I just found the crosstool generator, but 
did not studied it because of the same lack of time.

But my humble opinion is that gdb 7.7 version must be good enough!

Previously kdevelop guys published the information about the minimal gdb 
version required. I did not see this info now, but again 7.7 (which one can 
find in CodeSourcery) seems to be good enough...:-)

I agree. Before that, I would be happy to hear this simple thing (gdb version 
required) from the kdevelop community...
