ok, I compiled 'parted' with the '-g' flag  (btw, I had to do
'export CFLAGS=-g ; ./configure; make')

now for the debugger:

'libtool gdb parted' results:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr2/src2/parted-1.4.17/parted/.libs/lt-parted
Cannot access memory at address 0x40017dd8


'cd .libs; gdb parted' results:
(gdb) r
