a gdb question

[David Relson]

Hi,

My preferred development environment is to use emacs as my ide.  This gives 
me the editor I like and, with gud (the "grand unified debugger"), a 
reasonable visual debugger.  When I start gdb from emacs the startup looks 
like:

Current directory is /home/relson/GNUstep/Hello/obj/
GNU gdb 5.3

(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x804b51a: file main.m, line 5.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/relson/GNUstep/Hello/shared_debug_obj/Hello
/home/relson/GNUstep/Hello/shared_debug_obj/Hello: error while loading 
shared libraries: libgnustep-base.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory
Program exited with code 0177.

If I simply run "gdb obj/Hello" from a command line, gdb is perfectly happy 
(though I don't have the source code view that emacs provides).

I _am_ setting solib-search-path with a "set 
solib-search-path=/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries" in my .gdbinit file, but 
that doesn't help.  "ldd obj/Hello" affirms that 
/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries is the correct path.

My gdb-5.3 does have the Objective-C patches applied.

What is the proper thing to do?

Thanks.

David
