Need help with Eclipse

So I have eclipse installed and the program set up to build and run. For some reason it will not run at all. Can you please help...

Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to run it?

shoot I have it screen captured to give you a visual...
says launching new configuration has encountered a problem

program not recognized executable

Do you have Java installed? Eclipse is a Java based application and unlike previous version, Java is not included with Lion.

I need it to do C program. Lion is which osx version and what should I install?

Eclipse is built on Java so you'll need to install the runtime. You can get it here.

It sounds like Eclipse is working fine but isn't configured properly. Two things: have you installed the Xcode development tools (which installs all you'll need for C/C++/Obj-C development) and have you configured Eclipse to use those tools?

I was informed I have to get a GNU downloaded to recognize the process

GCC comes with the Xcode developer tools which are available on your install discs or in the Mac App Store.

If you downloaded Xcode from the App Store, the Xcode app bundle will have been placed in the Applications folder. Do you see it there?

Is it under utilities?
I don't see the X code app,
Is it a free download?

You downloaded it, after it finished.. did you install it? It's an app you need to run to finish the install.

I'm confused - you said that you downloaded it but then you suggest that you haven't.

Here's how it works:
- If you got it from the Mac App Store, everything would have been configured and Xcode will be in your Applications folder.
- If you downloaded an older version from Apple or you're using the copy that came with your install discs, it will have been installed to /Developer (Macintosh HD > Developer).
