This is caused when you are running X in 256 color mode and other
applications have used up all the colors.  If you're running netscape
that's probably using the entire color map.  In the case of netscape it
has a -install command line option that runs in a private colormap.  If
you can't free up enough colorcells you can run 'xwpe -pcmap' which runs
xwpe with a private colormap.  Alternative you can try to set xwpe to use
the same colors as your window manager or other programs but I don't
know olvwm well or what other programs you're running so you're on your
own there.

Are you trying to debug a project or only a single file?  What gdb
version are you using?
