Insight *is* gdb: they both live in the same executable. To build 
Insight against GDB X.Y, just grab source from that genre and build it. 
Or grab the insight bits and stick it into the source tree.

I will be doing an official insight release shortly after gdb releases 7.4.

6.8 is ancient. Please use something newer. Just checkout CVS/GIT HEAD 
and build it. That's what I've been using for over ten years, and I 
seldom have any problems.

I agree. ;-)

Then you're in good shape, since I run Fedora locally, and linux pretty 
much always works.
