It finds the latter, but errors when trying to load it automatically.
I guess the warning that comes out after the connection is made points to
why this is happening.

Is this a (_remote_) linker issue or gdbserver issue or (_local_)
gdb issue?
Furthermore, does gdb load the shared libraries from the remote
machine over the network or they need to reside locally?

They need to reside locally, and this is a local gdb issue.

From the error message above, GDB is not finding the library -
otherwise you wouldn't get "No such file or directory".  Please take
another look at the documentation for solib-absolute-prefix.

What do you mean by "you have the wrong libpthread on the host"?
How can I doctor this?

Is GDB on the host finding the _host's_ libpthread, or the _target's_
libpthread copied to the host?

It must be the latter if you want it to work.

pthread_db innitializing error

[nak26]

Hi:

I am fighting problems I have when trying to remotely debug multithreaded 
applications.

The host machine's solib-absolute-prefix is messed up, so when I start I set 
the solib search path to look for libraries at the right places (it was 
looking at /lib/i686 instead of just in /lib). Then after hitting a breakpoint 
I need to issue shared to load the libararies.

At this point on the target terminal I see this (the application is a 
multithreaded toy example):

[localhost ~/src/c/threads]$ ~/.local/src/gdb-5.3/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver 
:7000 hello_world_thread
Process hello_world_thread created; pid = 2486
Remote debugging from host 192.168.66.59
gdb: error initializing thread_db library.
gdb: error initializing thread_db library.
gdb: error initializing thread_db library.

Anybody with ideas why I am getting the error?

Both host and target are IA32 RedHat 8.0s.

Thanks,
Nik

Eh?  It sounds like you're not using the right libraries at all. 
solib-absolute-prefix should point to a copy of the target filesystem
layout - the target's versions of libraries.  It shouldn't search /lib
at all.

Probably symbol resolution is not working; most likely because you have
the wrong libpthread on the host.
