Yes, the tarballs you downloaded are quite old, indeed. I keep meaning 
to make an official release, but life has really gotten in the way. My bad.

The easiest thing to do is checkout the latest sources from CVS HEAD. If 
you can't do that, let me know, and I'll tar up a copy and either send 
it to you or put it somewhere you can get at it.

As for the source files not being found, I would first try opening a 
console window and typing "list" or "list <SOMEF UNCTION>". If that 
doesn't get you source, either, then you will need to modify the source 
search path using gdb's "dir" command (type "help dir" into the console 
for help on that).

The other thing to check is that you really do have debug info. For a 
function defined in the source file you cannot list, type "info func 
<FUNCNAME>". Gdb will tell you whether it has any debuginfo for that 
function. If it only gives "Non-debugging symbols", then your CU was not 
actually built with debuginfo (or it was stripped, damaged, etc).
