not an ELF file

Hello,
  I am trying to debug a program, with ups, on Mandrake 9.0 with gcc 3.2 and 
I am getting the following error:

Can't debug rat: it is not an ELF file

I am aware of the STABS/DWARF problem with the gcc >3.1 compiler but I am 
not sure whether this has to do anything with it.

I use bot the ups 3.37 and the 3.38beta1 versions.

An older email found in this list says:

Could anyone help me?

Please send replies to cambiotis_at_hotmail.com.
Thank you for your time and help.
