On what platform? Using which version of GDB?
Note that on Linux, or any other platform that uses DWARF
debug format, you shouldn't need to specify 'directory ...'
at all if you build and debug on the same machine: compiler
already supplies all the info GDB needs to find sources
regardless of where in file system they are located.

Did you build your program with debugging info (the '-g' GCC option) ?
