Newbie asks about .so libraries

- Subject: Newbie asks about .so libraries
Here's a basic question. Can gdb/insight debug code from .so files?
I have a library, compiled with debug information, and a main program, also with debug info. If I start gdb with the main program, does gdb automatically dig up the debug info from any .so libraries used by the main program? Can I set breakpoints on the source code in the .so file?
Or do I have to link statically for debugging purposes?
Thanks,
Bill
