i am trying to debug gftp, which crashes constantly. When I try running gdb it tells me that gftp is not an executable file:
$ gdb /usr/bin/gftp
GNU gdb 6.7.1

| Maybe it's a shell-script or written in Python? Open the file in vi and see if it's garbage (i.e., and ELF executable) or something in text. |

vi? Surely the answer is to less the file. It should be a shell script to call either gftp-gtk or gftp-text. |
