Unable to debug snmpd with gdb, compiled with "-g"

Hi All,
 
I am trying to debug snmpd but unable to do so, the logs are dumped below. As per my understaning if I compile with "-g" option then we can run with gdb, I checked the snmpd and snmplib is successfully compiled with "-g" option but showing error as "no debugging symbols found". I am not able to understand why? Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I need to attach gdb with the snmpd task id. Please help me in debugging snmpd.
