Subject: [Rd] Insight/gdb users?
Message-ID: <463tsvkpgsslsqqgs2flqhafuvluiedt42@4ax.com>

Are there any users of Insight with gdb out there?

I was debugging r-patched tonight, and after quitting and restarting,
suddenly Insight won't start!!?  

It prints a very long error dialog (which doesn't allow cut and paste
@%$!), starting out like this:

> Can't find a usable main.tcl in the following directories ....

This is followed by a search list of directories, one of which does
contain main.tcl.  Then the weird part:

>f:/cygwin/usr/share/Insight1.0/main.tcl:  extra characters after close-brace

>extra characters after close-brace while executing

>"F:/[the path to] /Rterm.exe/breakpoints={{break cmdlineoptions} 1 {} {"

Now I had a breakpoint set on "cmdlineoptions" in that file, so it
looks to me as though Insight is reading a file of old breakpoints
from somewhere, and tripping over a syntax error in it.  But I can't
find the file!!

Does anyone know where Insight would save debugging options from
session to session?  If not, does anyone know where to go for help
with it?
