Re: insight and existing gdb, tcl/tk

[Scott Bean <scottb at amc dot com>]

Yes, I agree.  I was too chicken to do a make install and just set things up
myself.

While I have your ear(s), I have a problem with the 'list' command.  When I do a
'list myfile.cc:1' in the console window, the source is only listed in the
console window and not in the source window (the source window doesn't change at
all).  This seems pretty odd to me, so I was wondering if I was doing something
wrong or hadn't set it up properly.

Appreciate any help,
Scott
