Zowie. Until recently, I didn't even know that Insight was in fedora!

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the problem. readline-devel is probably not installed on your 
system. Have you tried passing "--resolve" to yumdownloader to also 
download any dependencies?

Looking through the 6.8 rpm (I'm on F15 right now), I see that it does 
not list all the build requirements for gdb. I would recommend you 
download/install the corresponding gdb sources (and deps). If you can 
build the gdb RPM, then all the necessary "hidden" requirements are 
present to build insight. All you then might be missing are the insight 
deps. I'll see if I can't check out the latest insight RPM and get it fixed.

Eew. 6.8-1 is based on a version gdb that somewhere near four years old. 
That spec file is obviously really, really wrong in many ways. [It also 
includes a private copy of tcl, tk, itcl, etc. This is no longer a 
requirement. The sources now look for system-installed versions. (hint: 
install tcl, tk, itcl, itk, iwidgets, itcl-devel, tcl-devel, tk-devel)]
