In gdb you can specify a directory from which to load source files, if
necessary. I find that if you cd to the directory where the excutable
was compiled before running it, this is not usually necessary.
The gdb command to add a directory to the search path is "path
/path/to/dir", and the specified directory is added at the front of the
search path.
