I habe the same problem on the same platform. the problem seems to be with the debugger used (GDB) and not Qt itself. GDB is also used with other tools like NetBeans. One possible solution I seen from reading their forums is to somehow Sett "Console Type" to "Output Window"

anybody work out a solution? I'm getting the same problem on the same platform

cheers

well, i just found the answer for me

create a file Qt.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d with this content
# Qt libraries
/opt/qtsdk-2009.05/lib

or wherever your libraries are
then 'sudo ldconfig'

cheers

Hello,
i just ran into the same Problem on ubuntu 10.04 - 32bit and GNU gdb (GDB) 7.1-ubuntu, This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"

GDB worked quite fine several weeks, and suddenly it was very slow to debug and then i got the message: &"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Invalid argument\n"

Is there any other solution but Qt.conf?
Which i tried already?

regards Astronomy

Qt 4.7.3, Ubuntu 10.4

Reverting back to gdb 6.6 worked, GDB has a ftp site that has .debs. It didn't take too long to build it.

I had the same Problem with Ubuntu 10.04, QTCreator 2.5.2 and gdb 7.1 coming with ubuntu.

I could solve my problems with an upgrade to the current version 7.5 of gdb and using this instead the 7.1 installed by ubuntu.

You can download the latest and compile it by yourself

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.5.tar.gz
tar xvfz gdb-7.5.tar.gz
cd gdb-7.5
./configure
make
cp gdb/gdb /usr/local/bin

Take care about that the /usr/local/bin is at the beginning of the PATH you are using while running QtCreator
You can place the following line into your .profile

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
