Problems while debugging fortran

What command exactly did you use to set your breakpoint?
Did you try:

        (gdb) break test.f:3

?

Perhaps it would be clearer if you could post annotated copies of
your various GDB sessions (the ones that work, and the ones that
don't). I think it'll be easier for us to help you.

Are you using a recent snapshot from CVS?
