You know, I ran into this same problem. The reason you
get this error with Insight is because it shows up in
the Tcl/Tk code, which is not part of regular gdb.
I have not had enough time to look into it (perhaps
next week), but I did find that the mingw version
of gcc is able to compile the code. I am
not sure if that helps, I just thought you
might like to know.
