Problem Running Insight

Problem Running Insight

[Raymond Jou]

I have successfully configured, built and installed Insight-5.0 on Solaris
2.7(see below).  But when I tried to run it I got the following error, but
combobox is installed at
/home/raymondj/work/install/insight5.0/share/cygnus/gui/combobox.tcl
Could it that be there is an environment variable needed to set?  Please
help.  Thanks in advance.

This probably means that gdb wasn't installed properly.

This is an indication of a possible install failure. Check if 
INSTALL/share/cygnus/gui/pkgIndex.tcl exists. It should mention combobox. 
You can add this dir to TCLLIBDIR to force it.

Have you grabbed the latest "development" snapshot? It is probably a lot 
better than the standard "5.0" release. Right now the snapshots only 
contain bug fixes, so they are much more reliable than the release (go 
figure).

Enhancing Insight To An IDE

[Raymond Jou]

I have been using Insight for a short while.  Before that I was mainly using
DDD + gdb.  I think Insight is fairly functional complete and stable.
Thanks for those who put in the efforts of making Insight what it is today.

Has anyone (or perhaps many people) thought about or suggested enhancing
Insight to an IDE that incorporates GCC as well?  It might not be a trivial
effort, but I just want to know if there is popular demand out there for
such an IDE.

You might have better luck seeing if the Source Navigator people are
interested.  I think S-N is becoming an IDE (or is one already, I
don't keep close track of it).  It uses Insight as its debugging
component.
