I was trying to install bashdb (the bash debugger) on my RHEL system and it
wants the path to my bash source to optimze some stuff. Of course I have
bash (ver 3.2) on my system. But where is the source (it says at least it
wants at least the headers)

Usually yum yields the package-devel entries. But a `yum search bash` did
not get me any "devel" packages. Any ideas?

Hmm, I'm not a RHEL user but I think that I would prefer the RHEL source
package in the OP's situation. I didn't check but chances are big that
RedHat patched the source heavily and that original gnu source is not
usable. The RHEL source package should match the installed binary.


Regards,

Kees.

Thanks Kees. How do I go about finding the RHEL source package?

These were the only ones that `yum search bash` yielded.

bash-completion.noarch
environment-modules.i386
bash.i386
environment-modules.i386
lftp.i386
bash.i386
gmrun.i386
bash.i386
lftp.i386
lwrap.i386
gmrun.i386

This is for RHEL-4. Look around the site for your specific needs.
