Thread-topic: Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed

I have downloaded eclipse 3.4 ganymede for a C++ project development.

As asked, I also installed cygwin.

When I run a hello world program, it runs fine.

However when I try to debug it, it gives the following message in a pop up screen.

Error creating session

Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed

When should I put gdb and how?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,

Pranay
