Hi,

Ugh. Hate to say this, but it is still called "gdb". So you probably have
"three" versions of gdb on your system:

/usr/bin/gdb -- the version of gdb that came with your Mandrake
                installation (if you installed that option)
PREFIX/EXEC-PREFIX/bin/gdb -- Insight
PREFIX/EXEC-PREFIX/bin/gdb -nw -- the Insight gdb, but using only the
                                  command-line mode.
where PREFIX is the "--prefix" option given to configure (default is
/usr/local") and EXEC-PREFIX is the "--exec-prefix" option given to
config (default is "")

If you type "which gdb", you can easily find out which gdb you're getting.

I will be making an attempt at altering the build/installation process to
make separate executables for gdb (command-line) and Insight (GUI+cmd
line). Expect to see something in the next month. :-)
