You need to install the development packages for that...

What command do you run exactly ? What errors did you get ?

You must check before than the program you run needs a terminal, otherwise 
things may work differently (like 'ls') or not at all (gdb I think needs a 
terminal for example).

In the development version, I added a syntax (SHELL/EXEC ... FOR INPUT OUTPUT) 
that run the called program in a virtual terminal, and I succeeded in sending 
commands to gdb.
