Hello,
I'm a university student using Eclipse CDT for one of my current units. I am using a FRDM-K20D50M board with a sparkfun.com ProtoSheild.
Whenever I attempt to debug I get the following error:

Error with command: gdb --version
Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed

And whenever I run I run I get this error:

Error starting process.
Cannot run program "C:\Users\[my name]\Documents\workspace\Blinky\Debug\program.elf": Launching failed

I've had multiple members of my teaching staff try to help to no avail.
Here's a list of solutions that I've already tried:
-Check the serial ports
-Reinstall
-Uninstall
-Install in a different order
-Change the source files for gdb (it just causes problems with .gdbinit, and I'm unable to find either)
-Running as USBDM
-Cleaning the program

Any further ideas would be awesome, I'm really in a bind. Thanks in advance

You appear to be running under Windows.
I have no way of verifying this but the first message
"Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed"
is saying that gdb couldn't be run.

You either don't have it installed or it isn't in the path when running Eclipse.

Windows can't run ELF files which explains what is happening when you try to run it.

You want to run it on the FRDM-K20D50M board which is an ARM processor.
It's unlikely your Windows machine is also an ARM processor.
In any case, Windows expects executables to be in PE format.
