Nothing on the list looks >recent. So again I ask: who knows of a working xgdb for g++ 1.37.2, gdb >3.5, and X11R4? What you have to realize is that xgdb is just a FRONT END for gdb. You need the correct gdb version in your path for what you want to do. xgdb just spawns this as a sophisticated I/O window for it. I believe the latest reasonably good version is on expo.lcs.mit.edu under contrib/xgdb.2.1.tar.Z.
