BreakPoint Command Not found error

I have Suse linux-2.6.31.5-0.1.

When I try to set breakpoint in application or kernel modules it gives me command not found error.

For instance
when I typed the command
b xyz.c:47

it gives me an error:
Code:
"If 'b' is not a typo you can use command-not-found lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf b"

When I fire cnf b it gives me an error:
Code:
b: command not found

The output of # echo $PATH is as desired:
/usr/lib/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin


How to rectify this issue?

You need to run that in a debugger, not outside a debugger. Shell doesn't understand what "b: whatever.c:242" means.

Is this not specific to GDB debugger or perl? I have not heard of shell being able to nor as a command... (explaining perhaps the command not found message and that you cannot find it as a package...)

Coronna will you pls let me know how to debug linux kernel modules.
I have created and loaded(using insmod) a simple module having just init, exit ,read and write functions.
I have compiled the kernel with options "Compile the kernel with debug info" and “Compile the kernel with frame pointers".

To debug an application we attach the gdb to the pid of application's process and then set the breakpoints in code file.
But for a kernel module I am confused as how to proceed.
I want to know how to debug this kernel module.

Will you pls throw some light on it?

The kernel needs a different debugger, kdb. I'm not familiar with it, and it may not work the same way as you'd expect of gdb, but this article may help.
