libpython2.4.so: Cannot load symbols for shared library with separate debuginfo

["Alejandro Homs" <ahoms at cells dot es>]

Hi,

I am trying to debug a Python C++ extension module. I have installed:

python-2.4-14:
  /usr/bin/python2.4              -> stripped
  /usr/lib/libpython.2.4.so.1.0   -> not stripped
python-debug-info-2.4.14:
  /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python2.4.debug
  /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0.debug

I installed the latest gdb-6.6. When I load the core file, gdb reads the
symbols from python2.4.debug, but it does not read the
libpython2.4.so.1.0.debug with the debug information for the shared library.
I guess this is because it finds some symbols already on
libpython2.4.so.1.0, and does not attempt to search the separate debuginfo
file.

I tried with the symbol-file command, but it does not work. 

What can I do to debug libpython2.4.so?

Thanks a lot in advance

Alejandro
