I think I advanced a little bit (I commented -Werror in bfd/Makefile, opcodes/Makefile, gdb/Makefile), but I got stuck in a new place: make[2]: Entering directory '/home/kali/Documents/DEBUGGING/insight/insight-6.8-1/gdb' gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I.././gdb -I.././gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.././gdb/../include/opcode -I.././gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I.././gdb/../bfd -I.././gdb/../include -I../libdecnumber -I.././gdb/../libdecnumber -DMI_OUT=1 -DGDBTK -DTUI=1 -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wpointer-arith -Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused -Wno-switch -Wno-char-subscripts i386-linux-nat.c In file included from i386-linux-nat.c:26: linux-nat.h:63:18: error: field ‘siginfo’ has incomplete type 63 | struct siginfo siginfo; | ^~~~~~~ i386-linux-nat.c:682:1: error: conflicting types for ‘ps_get_thread_area’; have ‘ps_err_e(const struct ps_prochandle *, lwpid_t, int, void **)’ {aka ‘ps_err_e(const struct ps_prochandle *, int, int, void **)’} 682 | ps_get_thread_area (const struct ps_prochandle *ph, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from gdb_proc_service.h:25, from i386-linux-nat.c:70: /usr/include/proc_service.h:72:17: note: previous declaration of ‘ps_get_thread_area’ with type ‘ps_err_e(struct ps_prochandle *, lwpid_t, int, void **)’ {aka ‘ps_err_e(struct ps_prochandle *, int, int, void **)’} 72 | extern ps_err_e ps_get_thread_area (struct ps_prochandle *, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[2]: *** [Makefile:1114: i386-linux-nat.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/kali/Documents/DEBUGGING/insight/insight-6.8-1/gdb' make[1]: *** [Makefile:11148: all-gdb] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kali/Documents/DEBUGGING/insight/insight-6.8-1' make: *** [Makefile:704: all] Error 2 Any help?

I am trying to install it in my Kali linux distribution using: ./configure make "./configure" looked to went ok, but with "make" I get errors (see attached [no attached finally, because your server was rejecting my email. So I embbeded them. Sorry about that]). BTW: I was thinking, previous being solved, not to do "make install", because I wonder if the package has programs that would overwrite my actual binaries (/bin) other than just installing Insight (as the README says: "the package comes with many compilers, debuggers, linkers...". And second to this: is it possible then to use it without "make install"? Any help?
