If you are using gdb-4.17, which is the current version of GDB, try (gdb) help set solib-absolute-prefix Set prefix for loading absolute shared library symbol files. For other (relative) files, you can add values using `set solib-search-path'. (gdb) help set solib-search-path Set the search path for loading non-absolute shared library symbol files. This takes precedence over the environment variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. before attaching to the process. > [I'm sending this to the address that the FSF has listed as the gdb > maintainer address.] > > On the hurd, it's often the case that we want to have gdb attach to > processes which are running different versions of the shared libraries > than the main system is using.
