You are right in the sense of having a ready to download bundle of 
insight. But you can build an own version from CVS (depending on the OS
you want to run it on). I run it here on linux, native win32 and win64 
daily from somewhat current gdb sources.

Yes but the daily CVS is often broken. Like now, for instance :-(

That's my fault: Lately, I've been doing a lot of debugging (using 
insight, of course), and I haven't been keeping up on building from HEAD 
as often as I should.

Here is a patch which fixes the build problem. This is the only problem 
that I noticed. If there are others, please send a note to the list to 
draw my attention to it.

I do try to keep insight building/working.

Thanks for that, I'll try it as soon as I can.

I've had bad luck over the past two years with several builds and when it
does build I've had some extremely annoying breakage in assembly language
on Intel x86_64. In 32 bit mode it works great. It will be excellent when
the x86_64 problems are sorted. Thanks for the help.
