Re: JDE debugging problems

So this is an _old_ thread, I just hit the problem again, just thought I'd get the workaround on the record if anyone hits it again as I just did: To fix the "Symbol's value as variable is void: old-assoc" problem when debugging with JDE in xemacs/cygwin, edit the file jde-dbs.el, and replace the six uses of 'assoc' as a _variable_ with some other symbol. Then load jde into your xemacs and do (jde-compile-jde), and the problem will be fixed. Or rather, that for sure fixes the problem when it occurs when trying to clear a breakpoint, which is the way I hit it. I observe that the string old-assoc also appears in the following elc files: jde-bug.elc, jde-db.elc, jde-jdb.elc which all also use 'assoc' as a local variable. It may well be that these should also be edited. ht -- Henry S.
