 You're build output is still showing -fwritable-strings. Where did you 
 download insight? If you run the following command, does it agree with 
 what my system returns?
 
 $ cd src; grep -r writable-strings tcl tk itcl libgui
 tcl/unix/dltest/configure.in:#   TCL_CFLAGS=-fwritable-strings
 itcl/CHANGES:  - added George Howlett's test for "gcc", so that 
 "-fwritable-strings"
 itcl/CHANGES:  "-fwritable-strings" option is no longer necessary for 
 GCC and
 libgui/ChangeLog:       * configure.ac: Remove -fwritable-strings from 
 CFLAGS.
 
 What does the output of "grep ac_cv_c_tclconfig 
 $BUILD_DIR/libgui/config.cache" say? Is it picking up the one from the 
 build?

State-Changed-Why:
    You're using quite an old version of Insight (6.4 is almost ready). Unless neccessary, get a new version. (You say you downloaded the lastest? Try a snapshot! That's what I've been using most weeks for many years.)
    
    Simply edit src/libgui/configure.ac (may be called configure.in) and remove the section with "-fwritable-strings". NOTE: This will not work if your version of insight is using Tcl/Tk 8.1! If you must use this old version, you may have to work around this (by using an older gcc, for example).

I downloaded the newest version of insight on my SuSE 10.0 (gcc 4) system. When executing "make" I got:
