Hey guys,
Happy Saturday!
I figured it out and was able to attach - not particularly looking forward
to stepping through the code now but I'm game - wish me luck.
For everyone, I had to do yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing-debuginfo
exim-debuginfo
This gave me the debug info for 4.88 ( when I did it without this I got the
debug info 4.84 ).
So I think I'm up and running for now but I 'll let you know what else I
find.
Thanks for all your help.
Dan

Hello everyone,
Thank you again!
Ok so I uninstalled exim and then ran the following commands
yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing exim exim-mysql yum install
--enablerepo=epel-debuginfo exim-debuginfo
It seems to have installed however when I attach gdb I get the following
error:
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install exim-4.88-3.el7.x86_64
I ran the command and it added a bunch of debug info but every time I attach
to exim I still get that error.
So what do I do now?
Thanks!
Dan

The debuginfo package Felix mentioned does that.

Hmm. Consider the output of
ls -l /usr/bin/cc
and
cc --version
versus
gcc --version
In fact on my SL6 box
strings /usr/sbin/exim | grep "Red Hat"
gives a string very similar to part of "gcc --version".

gdb would do, or there are several gdb front-ends, with more
"point-and-click", including at least on for emacs.
Single-stepping through a daemon is not the easiest thing in the world.
