RE: Insight-5.3 hangs

["Arthur Prosso" <arthur at altiris dot ee>]

Hello.
I have downloaded insight-6.0, as you recommended.
Compilation and Installation succeeded.
At run time there are exactly the same problems as with insight-5.3 (see mail below)
Please note again, that I used gcc-3.2.3 for insight compilation (the same version
of compiler was used for building the test application being debugged by insight).

What is the recommended version of gcc for insight compilation?
Any ideas for resolution of the problem?

Thank you in advance.

Please consider downloading gdb/insight 6.0.  I know the web site says
5.3 is "stable" but it isn't.  6.0 is.  Also 5.3 won't have proper
support for GCC 3.2, linux threads, mips, variable windows and a bunch
of other stuff.  It is also prone to crashing on Windows.  If at all
possible, use 6.0.
