Yes. If you debug one of the Carbon examples like AppearanceSample, do the data formatters load correctly?
AppearanceSample seems to debug fine and I see stuff printed by the Carbon data formatter, such as ControlRefs, but if my debug my own app, as soon as I hit a breakpoint, I get an alert saying:
Debugger Error:
Failed to load custom data formatter plugin at:
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/CustomDataViews/CarbonDataFormatters.bundle/Contents/MacOS/CarbonDataFormatters
Data values for types supported by this plugin may not display properly.
Error message was: (null)
Sometimes I can carry on debugging fine but having to continually dismiss the alert, but sometimes I get crashes whenever I single step. Once it starts crashing, it keeps crashing, and a restart is required to make it usable again.
I've done a clean build of all targets several times to no effect.
I'm using gcc 3.3 so that I can run the (C++) app on Panther, if that makes any difference.
In addition, and I don't know whether this is related, the command "Print Description to Console" which I use constantly while debugging, results in this message appearing in the debugger console (both for my app and AppearanceSample): Printing description of <myVariable> The program being debugged was signalled while it was in a function call from GDB ... Evaluation of the _expression_ containing the function (CFShow) will be abandoned.
I'm thinking in terms of doing a clean "Archive and Install" re-installation of Tiger, but that would cost a lot of time which I can't really afford at the moment (maybe at the weekend).

Any ideas? This was a upgrade install of Tiger from 10.3.9 (no Tiger seeds have contaminated this machine). I've tried reinstalling Xcode Tools twice to no effect, fixing permissions etc. etc.. I'm using gcc 3.3.
