fortran 90 debugging on linux

Hi,

I am trying to migrate all my programming (mainly fortran 90) from windows
to linux (slackware 10.1, kernel 2.6.10), but I still have not managed to
find a (free) graphical debugger that works properly.

I have tried photran (eclipse plugin), ddd and kdbg. To my understanding,
these are just front ends to gdb or the intel debugger, but I somehow fail
to get them working together properly. I have used g95 and the intel
compiler (8.1).

Does anyone have an answer of provide me with any directions for further
research? Any combination of combiler/debugger/graphical-front end would be
acceptable.

Thanks,

I have used UPS in the past ( http://ups.sourceforge.net/main.html )
and it worked very well, but - Disclaimer: That was under SunOS, I
have not tried it in Linux.

A few links from Google:

The intel compiler comes with the idb debugger. You can use the
graphical interface by calling it with the -gui flag but you don't have
syntax highligthing. I prefer using the emacs interface; the intel
debugger also has a idb.el file that lets you use it within emacs.

idb provided with ifort 9.0.026 is improved, even if you continue to use
ifort 8.x. That ifort itself is not recommended, 9.0.024 or .027 should
be better.

Well, I installed ifort 9.0.021 and, as far as I now, it is the latest
version for linux. Anyway I'm having troubles with idb. When printing
fields of user defined data types I have:

dwarf2 type array

or something like that instead of the values contained in it. Anybody
knows how to fix this?
