Daniel,

I downloaded the latest source and built the 5.2.1 version but I end up with
the same symptom.

i.e. start gdb within the proper environment and try to run the app from there
I end up with the problem that the app cannot find the shared libraries.
Displaying LD_LIBRARY_PATH in gdb (show env LD_LIBRARY_PATH) shows that the
path to the library that cannot be found is on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

However, when I start the app and then attach I can actually see the function
names and where in the code I am. This is certainly an improvement over the
earlier version.
