(and MOL) debugger

[Tanger]

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for your suggestions.  All efforts trying to install mol-0.9.65-1 
or mol-0.9.66-1 using src or ppc RPMs ends in a line about a debugger 
and freezes the terminal. Using apt-get I was able to install mol 
0.9.60-5b.

Now I am wondering
(1) if I can upgrade from 0.9.60-5b to a newer version if that is 
beneficial or

(2) if someone would know what the lines and the freezing in connection 
with the debugger is all about.  Before the line in which the terminal 
freezes there is always a line saying the the debugger was not 
installed.  I checked the YDL2.3 application list and couldn't find 
anything called debugger.  So perhaps the debugger is called something 
else?

Cheers,

Stefan
