By default, we compile all the debugging info into Phat (the '-g'
switch when compiling). you should be able to run gdb with that:

(gdb) run
gdb is an extremely powerful debugger, but somewhat daunting in
usage. We highly recommend installing 'ddd' as a graphical front end to
the debugger. if you are running under RH Linux, then you can get an
rpm here.
do keep in mind that resolving all the symbols in the executable of a
program takes time and memory (my debuggin session run at ~120Mb so
you need a fairly powerful machine).
