Hi Nagmat,

Assuming you did "make install" first, you can check if the file is installed
by looking at the share/gdb/python/gdb/function/ folder in the install directory.

If you did not "make install" but started gdb from its build directory, you may have
to pass the --data-directory flag.  Like this:

$ my-gdb-build-dir/gdb/gdb --data-directory=my-gdb-build-dir/gdb/data-directory
