RE: .gdbinit to debug gdb with gdb

[Fabrice Gautier <Fabrice_Gautier at sdesigns dot com>]

Yes, the file was in the build tree...

However, I copied it in the directory where i launched gdb but it doesn't
seem to have any effect. 
I had to rename it to gdb.ini or to source it.

I have gdb/insight 5.0.

Thanks
