symbolic debugger for UNIX

I'm wanting to use a symbolic debugger to find a problem with a C program I'm working on in the HP-UX engine B.10.20 E 9000/800 environment; I've used the GNU debugger on Linux, but it does not exist on UNIX. A fellow here mentioned DDE, Distributed Debugging Environment, but I don't seem to be able to find much documentation, plus he mentioned it would be necessary to use X-Windows with a DDE session. I thought I'd see if someone here could give me a few pointers, or at least point me in the direction where I could see how to do this. Thank you.

You could use gdb on HP-UX as well. A search on google for "gdb for hp-ux" gave quite a few results.

Or you could try xdb(1).

Code:
 NAME
      xdb - C, FORTRAN, Pascal, and C++ Symbolic Debugger

 SYNOPSIS
      xdb [-d dir] [-r file] [-R file] [-p file] [-P process_ID] [-L] [-l
      library]
          [-i file] [-o file] [-e file] [-S num] [-s] [objectfile [corefile]]
