Hi,

I have the following line in my .emacs:

(define-key gud-mode-map [f9] 'gud-break)

and I get an error that the value of gud-mode-map is void.

Here's the full log:

("/usr/bin/emacs-22.2")

You need to load library `gud' before you do that.
It defines variable `gud-mode-map' and gives it a value.

So, if you don't want to load `gud' on Emacs start-up, use `add-hook':

(add-hook 'gud-mode-hook
(lambda () (define-key gud-mode-map [f9] 'gud-break)))

I think it's cleaner to do the customizations like this:

(eval-after-load 'gud '(define-key gud-mode-map [f9] 'gud-break))

So they aren't executed every time the mode is started.
