Hi mayamatakeshi,

if you compile from the source then its already compiled with debug symbols, 
and the binary is not stripped, so gdb should work just fine. If you build a 
debian package then the binaries are also compiled with debug symbols, but 
they are stripped and placed in a separate -dbg package. You can then install 
this debug package, and gdb should use this debugging informations.

Cheers,

Henning
