Re: gdb emacs no such file or directory gdb

[Mike]

Hello

I found the ~/.emacs file and edit it by adding the following line into it:
"(setenv "PATH" "/usr/local/bin:$PATH" t)"
since my gdb is located in /usr/local/bin

but when I run the emacs it gives me following error:
"Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/mike/.emacs':

End of file during parsing: /Users/mike/.emacs

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace."

My whole ini file is as follows:
"(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(column-number-mode t))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
;; set PATH to use standalone texlive instead
(setenv "PATH" "/usr/local/bin:$PATH" t)"

Could you figure out what the problem is?
