When have your tried to set the breakpoint (or watch expression)?
Before RHIDE has linked your program or after linking?

Have you added the '-s' switch somewhere (in the linker or compiler
options)?

Have you modified the 'main targetname' to be in an other directory than
the current one?

Can you debug the produced executable with gdb?

And a last question (only just in case): Are you using at least
DJGPP 2.0 ? (Sorry for this question, but this is also a possiblilty,
because RHIDE cannot debug DJGPP 1.x programs, at least I think so).
