When I do this in a virtual terminal (gnome-terminal or uxterm) I see
the same error message briefly:
bash: cannot read . Perhaps bashdb is installed wrong.
bash: or try using -L (with a different directory).
before the terminal closes.

Ah, I think that's close! Yes, when I look at the bashdb-trace script,
it is trying to find libraries in ${prefix}/share/bashdb by default, but
$prefix is not set. I should have paid more attention to the error
message. The following works:
source /usr/share/bashdb/bashdb-trace -L /usr/share/bashdb
This also works:
export prefix=/usr
source /usr/share/bashdb/bashdb-trace
Not sure which way is correct, so I posted the question in the bashdb
"open discussion" forum on sf.net: http://tinyurl.com/7ncbk7
Also looks like Ubuntu 8.10 is using an older version of the debugger
than is available at http://bashdb.sf.net .
