>Description:
I installed Redhat linux 7.1 (install everything option) on an IBM intellistation and then attempted to install the insight tar on the system.  I issued the ./configure and the make and the make install command.  After repairing a problem with the make file where the function to create the target direrectories was broken (reported previously today) I attempted to run it.

running gdb reported and error that it could not find the iwidgets library.  

I checked in /usr/local/lib and could not find any libraries relating to widgets, so I think there is something  broken with the install.  

I suspect that the install did not completly install all there was to install for the special version of TCL required by gdb.

I am rather anxious to get this working on Redhat 7.1 as insight is one of the better GUI's for GDB.


Please advise.

State-Changed-Why:
    First, let me urge you to use Insight-5.1.
    
    Now onto your original problem. You must use the versions of tcl/tk/tix/itcl that are supplied with Insight. The iwidgets library is located in INSTALLDIR/share/iwidgets3.0.x. Make sure that only one of these exists (this was a bug that existed in the 5.0 version of Insight).
    To avoid conflicts with an pre-installed versions of Tcl, Tk, Tix, and Itcl, I recommend specifying a "--prefix" to configure to install Insight somewhere other than /usr/local. /usr/local/insight-5.1 is usually a good place. Simply add this path to your PATH or link /usr/local/insight-5.1/[EXEC_PREFIX]bin/gdb to /usr/local/bin/gdb.
