"using host libthread_db library" gdb debugger is not included

I am newbie for programming. I have tried to compile C file using Linux Ubuntu terminal by this command:

gcc -g test.c

After compiling I then start debugging

gdb -q ./a.out

to debugging my C file. I'm reading the programming book but the book said that I should have "Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1"" popup right after I start to debugging by using gdb. At first I ignored it but later on I could not debug some of the example from the book.

How can I update this debugger?

the programming book but the book said that I should have "Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1"" popup

The book is wrong:

  • GDB is a command-line program, it doesn't do popups
  • You should only get a message about libthread_db if you are debugging a multi-threaded program (and you don't appear to be doing that).

later on I could not debug some of the example from the book

You should ask a separate question, showing exactly what "I could not debug" means.
