I think what they meant is not much related to shared libraries (which works pretty good with gdb) but with the handling of dynamically-linked executables and libtool: launching gdb ./virsh will not work, obviously; you either launch it directly (./.libs/virsh), but most people will forget to set the proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH entries and thus debug the installed copy of the libraries, or you pass through libtool, but most people don't know that. Alas, working around problems in all kind of ways is what brought us the doom that libtool complexity is. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — “Flameeyes” http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ If you found a .asc file in this mail and know not what it is, it's a GnuPG digital signature: http://www.gnupg.org/ -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
