Insight is not doing any kind of interprocess communication with gdb.
The insight executable IS in fact gdb + some libraries. It is linked 
together into one piece of code. So you need to build it.

Anyway you shouldn't use 6.8. It is a "little" old. It is better
to build form CVS sources to get a decent insight.
