I've never seen this before...

May I recommend that you not build in the source directory? This may be a
total red herring, but I definitely do not recommend doing this.

Based on the configury that I see above, I would expect libgui to look in
/home/raymondj/work/install/Linux/share, but it doesn't... I don't know if
there was something wrong with the 5.0 release (could be, it was a really
random, bit-rotted "release" compared to what's available now).

Try searching the mailing list? I dunno what else to say...

Ok, not what most people want to hear, BUT... Have you tried a newer
version of insight? CVS is a little broken right now, but the 5.1 branch
is not too bad. If it works there, we would at least have something to
look at...

FWIW, here's how I build:

$ ls
src/
$ mkdir linux
$ cd linux
$ ../src/configure --prefix=/home/keiths/insight \
--exec-prefix=/home/keiths/insight/H-i686-pc-linux
$ make all-gdb install-gdb

See if doing this helps any. I'll see about getting the 5.0 "release" and
building it as you have.
