Hi all,
after having setup externals tools configuration for simulavr (starting it is OK), tried to setup the Debug Configuration for avr-gdb.
- In GDB Command was setting the path to the avr-gdb file and the avr-gdb command.
- in the startup tab I ticked "Load symbols" and entered the workspace path and the file name of the project-elf file in "use file".
- the .gdbinit file contains one command: "set startup-with-shell off"
Now, when I press "Debug" in the debug configuration window, I get the error: "Error in final launch sequence" with details as follows:

Failed to execute MI command:
source /Users/../.gdbinit
Error message from debugger back end:
/Users/../.gdbinit:1: Error in sourced command file:\nNo symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
/Users/../.gdbinit:1: Error in sourced command file:\nNo symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.

setup was done according to:
http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Debugging

avr-gdb version is 7.6.1 from within CrossPack-AVR-20131216

System is MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1

Thank you for any help.
