Cannot Launch Debugger [message #764688]

I am new to Eclipse and this forum.

I am running Mac OS Lion (10.7.2) and have downloaded and installed XCode 4.1 and Eclipse Indigo.

I have a straightforward C++ program. The program compiles and executes correctly in Eclipse. But when I go to Debug, it won't start and I get this message, "Launching <program> Debug has encountered a problem, Program is not a recognized executable." When I click "Details" I get the "not an executable" message four times.

In the Project properties / settings, it is pointed to GDB and to the right executable. I can launch GDB with the program executable from a terminal window and it works fine.

I've scoured the internet and Bugzilla, but I've only seen one other instance of this problem and the solution given didn't work for me (and was for Windows anyhow).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hard to believe...

in a few seconds I found this:

And please use the Eclipse help, for example:

Hello,

I think my problem is similar to Dan's problem. I'll happy if any one can assist me.

I've successfully run my remote application through "Run As" mode.
But when I keep similar type of setting in "Debug As" mode(obviously with configuration as debug) then eclipse throws an error saying
"Exception Occured during launch - Reason: Program is not recognized executable".

Please help me out as I'm new to eclipse.

Thanks & Regards,
VGG

I've had the same issue, but yesterday I found a way to debug C++ with eclipse in OSX Lion Mac.

After "Mach-O 64 Parser" has been checked in "Binary Parsers" box, my eclipse could debug my C++ program.

How about trying above.

I am in Snow Leopard with a similar issue. I have been unable to find the "Binary Parsers" box - can you tell m where to find it? Much Appreciated.
