Trouble getting gdb-gui to work

[James Ingham]

Paul,

Elena's answer about the Cygwin is correct.

Which Tcl/Tk are you referring to here?  Did you install one from
Scriptics?  Insight uses its own version of Tcl, which is installed as 
part of the whole Insight package.  You don't need to remove the
Scriptics version, they will happily coexist.  But trying to get gdb
to use the Scriptics version is unlikely to work.

Anyway, "main.tcl" is actually the startup file, but you can't use
that in a plain Tcl interpreter.  It uses a bunch of C implemented
commands that are in the gdb executable.  So you need to run gdb to
get Insight to work.

If you still can't get this to work, send me more details, and I will
try to figure out what is going wrong.
