Hi all,

I am trying to build insight and end up receiving the following message.
What am I missing?

Cheers,
Jan

6.8 is several years old. You are appear to be running into autotools 
problems with the (now) outdated configurey in that source tarball.

Normally, I would recommend grabbing CVS HEAD or a gdb release and the 
same vintage src/gdb/gdbtk directory from CVS to go with it. However, 
I've been sitting on quite a few patches to make it work (or at least 
make it work better) on many platforms. So this may or may not work for 
you. Or it may be more trouble than it is worth.

However, I believe insight is tagged on the gdb_7_5-branch. It is not 
yet tagged on the (recently made) 7.6 branch.

I can try to make a 7.6 release candidate in the next few days and post 
it to sourceware. I've just been swamped lately.

I built that this afternoon for x86_64-linux without incident.

Over the past few days, there has been quite a bit of brokenness in the 
simulators. Developers are working to sort it out. See, for example:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00871.html

[This is not the only thread on it; just the one I remember reading 
about the most over the past week.]

Does your problem sound anything like that? [It doesn't really, but 
without actual log of the build, it is unwise to commit. :-)]

I'm using gcc version 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) (GCC). This is 
the Fedora 15 system compiler.
