Hi Damian,

For the symref tool to work, you will also need to have an EDE project 
setup that identifies the root of your project.  Only then will it be 
able to start in the right place and have grep-find find all your 
references.  Of course, even in your proposed situation, it should find 
the symbol you are looking for if your cursor was on it to begin with.

You can also use 'semantic-symref-data-debug-last-result' to get a dump 
of what is found.  Chances are it will be empty, but it's worth a shot.

It might also have auto-detected some other tool (like an IDUtils or GNU 
Global) tags file at your project root, and tried to use that.  You can 
force it by setting `semantic-symref-tool' to 'grep directly with a 
(setq-default ...) in your .emacs.  Or delete the offending GPATH, ID, 
or cscope.out file.

Good Luck
Eric
