how to check the symbols inside binaries


Hi,
I am debugging a program, the source files scatter around many different places. When I start gdb and load the executable, I am prompted "<path1>/gui_main.c:there is no such file or directory". The "path1" is not right, there is no such directory at all.


My question is how come gdb tries to load gui_main.c from path1? What is the logic under the hood?

The problem is even worse, gui_main.c is not my file, it must be from one of libraries I link with. But I have no idea where it is.

I run ldd against the program and I see a lot of shared libraries, so my question is how I can know which library is this "gui_main" from? Or maybe it is in the executable itself? How can I know that?

Thanks.
