debugging in eclipse using gdb on mac - Failed to execute MI command: -exec-run

Question

I have my Eclipse Kepler and my simple HelloWorld C-program, where I wanted to learn how to debug a C-program. When clicking on the debug-button, I get the following error messa

Answer 1

This may happen if you signed 'gdb' before making all changes to 'gdb-cert'. Then you can restart 'taskgated' and then re-sign the 'gdb' executable.

1. ps -e | grep taskgated
2. sudo kill -9 <pid of taskgated>
3. codesign -f -s gdb-cert $(which gdb)

This worked for me.
