R help - Dec 1999 - FAQ: 8.2 How can I debug dynamically loaded code?

I'm having some trouble following the instructions in the FAQ for
debugging.

I can run 'R -d gdb' at the command line and it works; also, I have run
gdb from emacs before.

But I can't figure out how to put the two together: I've tried following
the instructions in the FAQ, but I seem to be missing something.  Can
someone with experience tell me exactly how I should invoke gdb on R
from within emacs?

Thanks.

Hmm. I don't usually do that, but both of the following seems to be
somewhat in the right direction:

C-u M-x R and then give options -d gdb (requires ESS)

or

M-x gdb and then give R -d gdb as startup command
