try gdb -v and you'll see that gdb has a text based interface.

I think the OP means a more user friendly text mode front end. One
which shows the current source in a text window, and provides hot keys
for common commands like step etc. Something like the Turbo C debugger
interface on Turbo C 3.

Can you post the stuff that you found. I also would like a slightly
more friendly user interface for gdb without using X.

1) as on of posters here noted: "gdb -tui" will provide some interface (as
for me I found this option in gdb-6.3.50)
2) and I found 'cgdb' (http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/) be pretty comfortable
and well-orginized package (IMHO )

Emacs provides a much better interface to gdb that saves a lot of
typing and confusion. Executing the Emacs command M-x gdb starts up a
new window running gdb. If you set a breakpoint on the main function
and then run the program with the correct arguments, gdb will split
the window in two, with your source code on the bottom and a gdb
command line in the top. Emacs intercepts output from gdb and
interprets it for you. When you stop at a breakpoint, Emacs will take
the file and line number reported by gdb, and display the file
contents, with the point of the breakpoint market. As you step through
a program, Emacs will follow your pgoress in the source file. The
command C-x SPC will place a breakpoint at the current point of the
file you are in.
