gdb-show-main is a variable, not a function, so you can't do
M-x gdb-show-main.  From the mini-buffer, gou need to do
M-x set-variable<RET>
Set variable: t (say)

What happens if you set a breakpoint at main and type "run" in the GUD buffer?
If the source doesn't appear in a buffer it probably means that you haven't
compiled with debug information (-g option).
