I am not blaming anybody. I am looking for a solution. Thank you for your hints.

That's libtool at work.  If the GNU project GDB and the GNU project libtool can't work together, that's something 
for the GNU project to fix; if DDD can't handle libtool-based projects, that's something for DDD to fix.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of libtool, but it's used enough that development tools, including DDD, need to be 
able to cope with it.

My libtool wrapper script mainly sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and run .libs/program, I can't find reason why it should break 
something.

I prefer using gdb, but libtool --mode=execute ddd ./wireshask also works for me:

So it seems to be some user/distro-specific problem.

I'd start with checking if I really compiled with debug symbols (objdump -S/-W), and if I have access to these files 
from user i run wireshark,
and later blame wireshark/libtool/ddd/gdb/gcc/binutils developers ;-)

Cheers.
