If you look only for a debugger: DDD is the answer.

If you want an IDE, i.e., an integrated debugger/editor/code
browser/version control, you could have a cheap and not so proprietary
IDE from Cygnus: Source Navigator (Linux edition have a different name
that I cannot remember).

Others that I know little:

- Sniff++ Penguin Edition: I know that Sniff++ is a very powerfull and
complete IDE but I don't know really this special edition. If anybody
have used it, I would love to hear COMMENTS.

- Metrowerks: pretty damn bad for a commercial IDE: proprietary / poor
functionalities / poor support for international keyboard...

- Code Crusader: pretty damn good for a free IDE.

Here is an old article on the subject, even if I don't share their
opinions.
