#### 11.1.2 Debug C code with debugger tools

One of the most popular tools to debug C code is `gdb`. The issue with `gdb` is that it cannot work with programs written in Scheme and most of Lepton tools are such programs. This is easily solvable. Instead of the call

    gdb lepton-schematic

use

    gdb --args guile -s /usr/local/bin/lepton-schematic

because this is the very command which is used internally in the `lepton-schematic` script. Please note using of the full path to the script here.
