In emacs, gdb says "cannot open shared object file"

It doesn't sound like in Emacs problem.  Does 

ldd /mnt/sda5/Programming/prg/src/prg

find libmisc.so?

What happens if you run gdb from the command line?  If you start Emacs from
the desktop, LD_LIBRARY_PATH might not be set.

$MYPATH/prg/src and $MYPATH/misc/src look like src folders.  It's usual to
to put executables and shared objects in bin and lib directories respectively.
