It seems, a newer version -- 6.8-1 -- is available since 2009, but that in itself is rather long ago. Try cloning https://github.com/monnerat/insight: it is unofficial, but up to date with binutils-gdb, tcl, tk, itcl, itk and iwidgets. I'm the Fedora package maintainer and I've tried to keep it alive there until now. > Is the project still alive? Does it make sense to keep offering it to FreeBSD-users, or is it hopelessly incompatible with gdb-7 and nobody has funding/energy/time to bring it up to date? I've been told it is, but I noted it does not breathe much :-( Regards, Patrick
