Used the instructions here: help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_c_whatsnew.htm

If I provide a .gdbinit of that form, I can't use breakpoints, which makes debugging worthless.

Python is installed, gdb is 7.3, gdb starts fine with that gdbinit.

What happens? Does gdb not halt at the breakpoint? Does it work on command line gdb with this .gdbinit?

STL Pretty printers have a problem dealing with uninitialized variables. It is possible that is what is happening to you. You may want to run your program until your STL structures are initialized and then displaying the variables/expressions view.
