Thank you!

I tried, on my development linux machine,
  configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix $HOME/ppc_insight
  make
  make install

... then found several executables in ppc_insight/bin including
"powerpc-linux-insight" which I ran as:
  powerpc-linux-insight -x ~/gdbcmd/<config file>

Lo and behold, an X window opened with "Source Window" in the title bar,
and what looks to be the code I expect to see, although it's in assembly
instead of C source. I see a drop down box in the upper right corner
that lets me switch from Assembly to Source except it only ever shows
assembly and will not show me source.  Is this another configuration
problem?

Thank you again,
Jeanne
