gdbserver - command not found

I would like to perform debug operations on the Android open source platform.

I am trying to run "gdbserver :5039 --attach" in my terminal but I keep receiving "command not found".

I have built the Android OS using the "full_crespo-userdebug" configuration, which according to the android docs, should provide me with root access on my Nexus S phone?

How can I set things up so that I can debug?

You can copy it from "$NDK_HOME/prebuild/$PLATFORM/gdbserver/gdbserver" then use adb to push it to device and make it executable

To debug an android device you first need to run gdbserver on the device.

gdbserver :5039 --attach pid

then in your gingerbread source folder you need to run 

source build/envsetup.sh

this will allow you to now run 

gdbclient

which should connect to the gdbserver on device
