Sounds like a gdb problem. (gdb = backend debugger; insight = gui)

Can you run it using just the command-line powerpc-eabi-gdb (or
powerpc-eabi-insight --i=console)?

If you cannot get that to work, send a copy of your session to the gdb
folks: they're be able to help you much more efficiently than I will.

Hi,
What is the procedure to send my session to the gdb folks (e-mail address, etc)?

Thanks,
Avi.
