#### C.6.1 Installed System-wide Configuration Scripts

The `system-gdbinit` directory, located inside the data-directory (as specified by `--with-gdb-datadir` at configure time) contains a number of scripts which can be used as system-wide init files. To automatically source those scripts at startup, GDB should be configured with `--with-system-gdbinit`. Otherwise, any user should be able to source them by hand as needed.

The following scripts are currently available:

- `elinos.py` This script is useful when debugging a program on an ELinOS target. It takes advantage of the environment variables defined in a standard ELinOS environment in order to determine the location of the system shared libraries, and then sets the ‘`solib-absolute-prefix`’ and ‘`solib-search-path`’ variables appropriately.
- `wrs-linux.py` This script is useful when debugging a program on a target running Wind River Linux. It expects the `ENV_PREFIX` to be set to the host-side sysroot used by the target system.
