Tools
There are some useful public domain tools. gtkwave, mentioned above, allows you to view vcd (value change dump) files on PC and UNIX. There are some other public domain tools on the OSCI web-site tools and products list; and if you are trying to understand the class hierarchy of SystemC, have a look at doxygen, a public domain documentation generator.
For debugging on UNIX, try ddd (the graphical interface to gdb, the Gnu debugger).
