Ok.....  When using a mex program here, it bombs on the MEX initialization code.

Thanks for the pointer!



Found the ddd apt package....  Currently installing the package.... 
Already had gdb loaded, and KPackage claims I've got a new enough version
of gdb installed.

Ok, installed....  Other than trying to open too large a window on my
screen, things seem fine.....

Again, thanks!

Take care.....
