Are you running this from the build directory or installed? As I recall,
I never got around to "fixing" the former. Try installing insight ("make
install-gdb") and see if that works.

If you already are running from an installed copy, then the file
INSTALLDIR/share/insight1.0/pluginwin.itcl is missing or corrupt (or not
mentioned in the tclIndex). Any of these?

If you look at the rhabout plugin, it does this, too. The variable
"menubar" is defined in the PluginWindow class. Is your plugin class
inheriting this class? (See src/gdb/gdbtk/plugins/rhabout/rhabout.itcl.)

Just follow the example plugin (rhabout). That should get you nearly
everything you would need. (If that fails, take a look at the
intel-pentium plugin.)

You should not need to do this. This will be done by your plugin's
config file, i.e., myplugin.tcl.in (see
src/gdb/gdbtk/plugins/rhabout/rhabout.tcl.in).
