So I kept on running it and, whenever I got an error message about not being able to find a certain file, I copied it to one of the suggested locations. I think I did this for tcl, libgui, tk, itcl, and ik, but I may be missing something. Eventually, I got to a state where I didn't get any complaints, but insight just exited without printing anything at all. Running it within GDB, I found that it was trying to print out the error message: Can't find a usable main.tcl in the following directories: /usr/local/share/insight1.0 /usr/local/lib/insight1.0 /usr/lib/insight1.0 /usr/local/library /usr/library /usr/insight/library /insight/ and failing. I'm not at all familiar with the relevant parts of GDB's code (or with any of insight's code), else I'd try to fix it myself. If somebody thinks it's appropriate, I'll file a bug (under GDB or under insight? I'm not sure who is losing the message). Incidentally, if possible it would be nice if the error message for a missing iwidgets were a bit more informative, too. David Carlton carlton@bactrian.org
