I hate to ask this, but I feel compelled. Are you compiling your 
application with debug info? That's the "-g" option to gcc? [Assuming 
your using gcc, of course.] Insight/gdb should be able to automatically 
locate your source files if you do.

To use the dir command:

If you source file lives in "/this/is/where/it/is/myfile.c", open the 
console window and type:

(gdb) dir /this/is/where/it/is

That's it. Insight will remember this the next time you start. To see 
the change immediately, change the display mode of the source window 
from "SOURCE" to anything (like ASSEMBLY) and then back to "SOURCE". I 
believe that should do it.
