I have multiple disks containing different OSX versions for testing and
developing. I am using CW 8.3. On some of these configurations when I
launch our application for debugging I get:

unknown error: Can't connect to GDB

or I get a spinning color cursor when the debugger begins to launch.

What is causing this?

Thanks

Are the dev tools installed?

You don't have the XCode / Apple tools for the various OS X Version
installed. On a 10.2 you need the August or December version of GDB if
you just used the Apple Tools CD it isn't the right version.
