title: Gdb repeated "no symbol table is loaded"
body: <p>Alright I just can't get gdb to work despite trying quite a few solutions.</p>
  
  <p>My makefile does <code>cc -g _________</code> and produces <code>myfilesys</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;gdb myfilesys
  (gdb) break my_linked_list.c:90
  No symbol table is loaded, use the "file" command...
  (gdb) file myfilesys
  Reading symbols from /home/jsexton/Work/cs492/hw3/myfilesys...(no 
  debugging symbols found)...done.
  (gdb) break my_linked_list.c:90
  No symbol table is loaded, use the "file" command...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone see the problem? My program is broken into like 30 .c files, so I really do need to use the file:[line number] thing.</p>
