Debugging a tool

I have built a tool. It compiles correctly. I can't run it as a  
normal program from the terminal, because a shared library,  
libgnustep-base.so.1.13, cannot be found.  But I can run it through  
opentool. But when I do run it, it does nothing, which makes me want  
to debug it.

Sadly, I cannot get it to run under gdb, because of the shared  
library problem. The debugapp script doesn't work because the tool is  
not an application.

So how do I debug a tool?
