Help with GPSIM watchwindows

Hello guys,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but I am about ready
to give up on gpsim and find a windoze machine and use MPLAB again.
(I really don't want to and am trying to use gpsim).

I am running a ubuntu machine and I have gpsim installed.  I compiled
my asm file using gpasm and then loaded gpsim with gpsim -s myfile.cod

The program comes up fine, however I am not able to add anything to
the watch window.  has anyone else had this problem?    I open the
symbols viewer and try to add a symbol to the watch window and nothing
happens.

i also noticed when i open the memory viewer I get these warnings:

**gpsim> SimulationMode:49

FIXME:  HLL files are not supported at the moment


Please any help is greatly appreciated, i have spent the last couple
of days trying to fix this by dling the srcs and compiling them and
installing them using make/make install etc.  An still I have not
luck.

Thank you for your time,

Scott
