Found this in my inbox today... ------- Forwarded Message Date: Mon, 06 Feb 1995 02:23:19 -0800 From: William "Chops" Westfield <billw@cisco.com> To: unix-trolls@cisco.com Subject: gdb and symbolic links.... How do I get gdb to expand symbolic links better. Or not to, or something... If I have a symbolic link in ~billw: cs_branch --> /cscxx/billw.csbranch/sys And I go there with 'cd cs_branch', emacs somehow knows that I used the symbolic link, and if I try to read ../boot/stuff, it doesn't work cause there is no boot directory in ~billw. I can fix this by doing 'cd `pwd`', which is gross - worthy of sending to unix-haters, even! But how can I get emacs to be smarted in the first place? Thanks Bill W ------- End of Forwarded Message
