Re: shared library symbols not loaded automatically

Hi Daniel,
I am not clear how setting solib-absolute-prefix will solve this problem.
The manual says that it is used as a prefix for searching the libraries
at runtime.
When I use the command sharedlibrary at the gdb prompt, the libraries
are correctly loaded.
Doesn't this mean that I do not need to set the solib-absolute-prefix??
