How do I use the GDB debugger?

I can't work out how the GDB debugger works (pretty new to programming). My move_arm_to_pose_goal node works a number of times, before crashing. I suspect a problem in KDLArmKinematicsPlugin, but I cannot tell what causes the process to die. I have run my constraints_aware_kinematics node using

launch-prefix="xterm -e gdb --args"

but nothing show up in the x-term window. Where do I look for errors?

I am running Fuerte, and the arm_navigation stack.

Have You entered `run` command in that x-term window after running mentioned node? `launch-prefix="gdb -ex run --args"` does that automagically for You :}

Yes. Errors would show up in the x-term window? Or is there a log file?

What command do you exactly run to start your node?

launch-prefix can be used only in roslaunch context as the attribute name itself implies. Try running from roslaunch if you're not running your node via roslaunch.
