This is the message I get upon executing "Initialize" in the Debug menu 
of gnat-gps (version 5.0, regular Ubuntu installation).

First surprise was that Google didn't find any page with exactly that 
phrase, only "Could not initialize the debugger", but the suggestions 
there didn't work for me. What I tried is:

1. Add debug option "-g" in the project file (Compiler 
Default_Switches). As I found out afterwards, it is on by default, it 
didn't change anything.

2. Check whether the GNU debugger is in the path. Opening a terminal 
window and executing "gdb" invoked the debugger.

3. Executing gnat-gps in a terminal window printed no error or   warning 
message.

Any idea what else I could try?
