So I have just installed codelite on Ubuntu trusty (14.04) x64

Everything seems to be working fine but when I try to run the debugger I get the error in the question title and it just stops there and does nothing. I have searched far and wide and can't find a solution to this issue.

I did see [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10790231/codelite-debugger-error-failed-to-locate-gdb-at-gdb/10802041#10802041), but it is related to windows not Linux.

I have tried the following:

```
apt-get install gdb

apt-get install codelite-dbg

ls /usr/bin/ | grep gdb
gdb
gdbtui
gdbus
gdbus-codegen

chmod ug+s /usr/bin/gdb
ls -l /usr/bin/ | grep gdb
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root   root       5720256 Oct 30 14:47 gdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root           126 Oct 30 14:47 gdbtui
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root         35688 Apr  3  2014 gdbus

```

still getting the error and not sure what to do. The file is clearly there and executable by everybody.
