I run x86 Red Hat Linux 6.2. The `Run' button on the toolbar doesn't seem to work for me. I start gdb on my program. The arguments to the program and a breakpoint are already set by .gdbinit in the current directory. When I hit Run, apparently nothing happens. This message appears in the insight console window: Argument required (target name). Try `help target' Of course, what I forgot is that I have to go to the target settings dialog and set the target to Exec. Unfortunately this also has the side effect of overwriting the inferior arguments (I consider this is a minor problem since I know at least they'll be saved for next time). I dislike having to remember to do this. In fact I forget regularly, and then I forget the fix, and end up just using `r' in the console. I think this is a fairly important bug to fix for native configurations at least. Probably more than 90% of debugging with a native linux gdb is done with the Exec target. Having to always set this means insight isn't optimized for the common case. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
