Platform: Red Hat WS 3.0, i686-pc-linux-gnu Start gdb, and it reports "GNU gdb 6.4.0.20051202-cvs". But all I get is the good old text prompt. It does not open any windows! gdb does not complain about Tcl_init failing. I have no conflicting environment variables. DISPLAY is set properly. I tried starting gdb with -nx option; no different. Reviewing the build and install log shows no errors (unless they are too subtle for me). ldd `which gdb` shows: libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00795000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00943000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00f5f000) libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x004b7000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00111000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bc3000) libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x00500000) How to diagnose this problem? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:

The following reply was made to PR insight/298; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Craig Lawson" <craig.lawson@centrify.com> To: <kseitz@sources.redhat.com>, "Craig Lawson" <craig.lawson@centrify.com>, <insight-prs@sources.redhat.com>, <kseitz@sources.redhat.com>, <nobody@sources.redhat.com>, <insight-gnats@sources.redhat.com> Cc: Subject: RE: insight/298: text mode only, no windows display Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 15:48:31 -0700 Yes, it did. And when I run 'insight', all the windows appear as I expect. Thanks for the tip! However, you may wish to change your web site FAQ. http://sources.redhat.com/insight/faq.php Section 3. Using Insight 3.1 How do I use Insight? Just run it you would a normal GDB (in fact, it's actually called `gdb'). Perhaps should say: "... it's actually called `insight'" Thanks for your help, Craig. =20 -----Original Message----- From: kseitz@sources.redhat.com [mailto:kseitz@sources.redhat.com]=20 Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 10:29 AM To: Craig Lawson; insight-prs@sources.redhat.com; kseitz@sources.redhat.com; nobody@sources.redhat.com Subject: Re: insight/298: text mode only, no windows display Synopsis: text mode only, no windows display Responsible-Changed-From-To: unassigned->kseitz Responsible-Changed-By: kseitz Responsible-Changed-When: Wed Jun 7 17:29:07 2006 Responsible-Changed-Why: mine State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: kseitz State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 7 17:29:07 2006 State-Changed-Why: Did your build create an "insight" executable? http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=3Dview%20audit-trail&databa= s e=3Dinsight&pr=3D298
