I don't know whether the apple version of gdb includes insight or not, but if it doesn't, you could always try crudely wedging together the apple gdb sources and the insight-specific subdirs and see if it works. The insight GUI is well enough decoupled from the gdb application that it might work, or at any rate might work well enough to be getting on with. For instructions on how to munge an insight build into an existing gdb source tree, see http://sourceware.org/ml/insight/2004-q3/msg00009.html cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
