I am having problems getting gdb to 'pop up'. When I was
installing gdb, I saw the tcltk libraries there in setup and
thought I must have made a mistake and I skipped them.
Reinstalling gdb and tcltk, however, I still don't get a GUI
version of gdb, only the console version, running the command
'gdb'. And gdb is not 'popping up' on the invalid page fault
error of perl-5.8.0.
