I just not built everything as non-debug on my P3/700 laptop running

w/ gcc 3.3.5.   It works fine.  Gorm comes up properly.

GORM comes up properly for me too, but if I try to create something
new or open a GORM file, nothing comes up. The strange thing is, if I
build a debug version and start GORM with either:

        debugapp Gorm.debug

or

        openapp Gorm.debug

everything works fine. I am at a lost...

Just FYI ... having debug and non-debug code on the same system tends to be problematic because unless you are very careful, after a while you end up accidentally doing something such that library and bundle inter-dependencies cause both a debug and a non-debug version of the same library to get linked into something. This can cause strange crashes and/or failure to load bundles and dynamic libraries.
It sounds like this might be your problem.
When this happens, my solution is to delete *every* library/binary and do a clean rebuild ... that's usually quicker/easier than pinning down the exact problem and replacing only the binaries actually causing the trouble.

I'd really like to scrap the separation of debug/non-debug libraries in the make system, as I think it causes more trouble than it's worth.
