gdb core dump

[Paul Gilbert]

When I get a segmentation fault and core dump can I use gdb to examine the core
file and get any useful information about why and where things went wrong? Do I
need to compile R in a special way to do this? Obviously I'm a newbie at this.
Details would be appreciated.
