fheineman: Thanks for your help! Did the "Run as admin" solve your problem?
Ive seen some posts where the problem has gone away when people have edited thier .gdbinit file. However, I dont know how to edit it. What paths do I set? I am running the "Nios II 11.1 Software Build Tools for Eclipse" under Windows. But the paths Ive seen people use are Linux paths. Cygwin is installed together with Eclipse, perhaps the builds are done under a Linux environment? Is so to what files are one to point out with the paths, one might ask...
postman,chnaideur: Are you still having the problem? If not, what solved it?
