Running Debugger 'Target selection failed' [message #1236759]

I am new to eclipse.

I am trying to run a simple hello world fortran program with the eclipse debugger. I am running on windows 7 64bit with cygwin_64 and 'Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers' build id:20130919-0819. I followed the steps on youtube from 'fortran part 2-compiling and running in windows 7'(can't post a link) to install.

The program is (and runs fine but won't debug):
program main
print*, 'hello world'
print*, 'Test1'
print*, 'Test2'
end program main

When trying to run through the debugger I get these errors:

Console:
.gdbinit: No such file or directory.
Reading symbols from /cygdrive/c/Users/Jim/workspace/examples/Debug/examples.exe...done.

Message window (Problem Occurred):
'Launching examples.exe' has encountered a problem.
Target Selection failed.

Target selection failed.
/dev/ttyS0: No such device or address.
/dev/ttyS0: No such device or address.
/dev/ttyS0: No such device or address.

Thanks for you help

> .gdbinit: No such file or directory.
That error is ok, you can ignore it.

I've never seen the other error. You can look at the 'gdb traces' to know in more detail what error is happening:
