What is KDbg?
From the homepage:
KDbg is a graphical user interface to gdb, the GNU debugger. It provides an intuitive interface for setting breakpoints, inspecting variables, and stepping through code.
KDbg requires KDE, the K Desktop Environment, but you can of course debug any program.
Here’s how to install it on Slackware 15 but this should work on any system that has KDE:
$ git clone -b maint https://github.com/j6t/kdbg.git
$ cd kdbg/
$ cmake .
$ make
$ su -c "make install"

If you’re having a problem as a ‘regular’ Slackware user burning an ISO file to a blank DVD, this may resolve your issue:
# chown root:cdrom /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrdao
# chmod 4750 /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrdao
