Are you using the default COFF debugging info (the one generated by GCC 
when you give it the -g switch)?  If so, try using -gstabs+ instead.  
COFF debugging info has some known limitations which stabs debugging 
doesn't have.

Also please note that names of some C++ variables and methods need to be 
quoted to override the default name parser of the RHIDE debugging engine 
(for example, it by default thinks that foo::bar is NOT a single name).

This and other problems related to debugging are describe in the FAQ, 
sections 12.7 and 12.8.
