You need to install gdb (it does not come on OSX by default)

Do you have gdb installed in your system ?
("Soon", Codelite will support lldb :-) )

Hey! In trunk, the support for lldb is fairly good - it already supports the following:
- allows full program control (next, step, step-in etc)
- Breakpoints management is completed
- Show backtrace
- Display local variables (there is a small bug with the vaules displayed atm, will be fixed soon)

Once tooltip support is added - we are good to go ;)
Of course, it will take some time until we get the level of support as gdb, but we are getting there
