gdbm has nothing to do with gdb. 

gdb = 'GNU DeBugger' ?
gdbm = 'GNU DataBase Manager' ?

So, no, installing gdbm from CygUtils will not interfere with gdb. <g>

Using the latest gdb from 6/10/2000 (and latest tcltk with that date) I still have problems using the source windows. Currently the debugger will no longer lock searching for the source files, but it is also uncapable of locating/loading the correct source files.

The debugger starts and is ready to run the application. After run it waits at an assembler call where I step in - unfortunately the debugger will now load an uncorresponding source and after the next step it is again in the assembler view and seems to be somehow disoriented ...
