[choube mehul]

hi all,

    it.

    my system is 
    Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
    Kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i686

    i used following cmd to start insight:

      insight test.x &

    in the console window i typed in following cmd's:

      break main.c:35

There could be any number of explanations for this. Let's start by
ascertaining where the problem lies.

What is the output of "show version"?
What command did you use to build your "test.x" application?
Does command-line gdb work on the program? (Run "gdb" instead of
"insight" and type in all the commands that you used above.)

It is very likely that 6.1 (like its 6.0 counterpart) is very broken.
And I don't see that getting fixed until Red Hat and the FSF iron out
the licensing issues with the insight code.

    i am compiling test.x with -g flag
    also command-line gdb works fine with test.x

Well, that does surprise me...

Can you please send the output of "show version" in the console. Also,
can you please run objdump -f on test.x. If you open the debug window
("tk ManagedWin::open DebugWin" in console) and run your application to
where insight "hangs" can you send the output?

I don't suppose I could get a copy of test.x?

This won't work at all.  You cannot run insight in the background.
Run it without the "&".

I'm glad you noticed that, because I missed that entirely...

I believe that you *can* run insight in the background, BUT you must use
the "use xterm for inferior's terminal" in the target settings (which
means that you MUST use the run button to start the inferior).
