And if it can't handle libtool-based projects, that would be *really* pathetic:

        http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd/ANNOUNCE

"DDD Makefiles use libtool for generic shared library support."

To run a debugger on an executable built using libtool, you definitely *do* need to run it with "./libtool 
--mode=execute {debugger} {args}", but if

        ./libtool --mode=execute ddd wireshark

doesn't allow DDD to find Wireshark's source files, but

        ./libtool --mode=execute gdb wireshark

*does* allow GDB to find Wireshark's source files, that's a DDD bug.

(I couldn't even get Wireshark or TShark to *start* on Ubuntu 9.10 when I tried running under GDB - it failed to find 
the symbol wsp_vals_pdu_type_ext symbol when I ran "./libtool --mode=execute gdb {wireshark,tshark}", but it *did* find 
it when I just ran "./wireshark" or "./tshark" - so I wasn't able to test it with GDB or DDD; libtool strikes again....)
