GNU insight debugger is not available now a days and it is required to debug/inspect
assembly code as written in the book Assembly Language Programming step by step in Linux [3rd Edition] so my question is; is there any alternative to insight that I can use instead of insight in which I can get the same functionality. I am learning assembly [use nasm in slack 11]?
Thnx
I thought the gnu debugger was gdb?

Insight is simply a graphical frontend to gdb written in TCL/TK. It is still available - see Insight home page.

Thanks for your help.
yes, gnu debugger is gdb but insight is just more than gdb front end. My case is solved. Please visit Gary Albers's page www[dot]stepbystep[dot]ishipaco[dot]com. I followed the "Solution Three", downloaded the script and installed insight successfully. It also upgraded gdb to 6.8x.
Thnx again for the insight home page, i was never able to find out even after lot of googling. 
gdb has many capabilities that are difficult to use in text-mode debugging. I strongly suspect the TCL script doesn't do all the hairy things itself...
You can also try Nemeiver or configure Eclipse CDT.
