Using .gdbinit and Kdevelop

[Mahmood Naderan]

OK I switched to the folder that I want to run and debug and start Kdevelop
from there. Now, when I click on Debug, I see that it tries to load the
macros but fails with this message:

You need gdb 7.0.0 or higher.
You are using: ** loading GPGPU-Sim debugging macros... **

That is weird, because the GDB version is 9.2 according to this output:

$ gdb --version

Also Kdevelop version is 5.5.
Any idea about that?

Regards,
Mahmood
