first I ran: valgrind --vgdb=yes --vgdb-error=0 /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit then I ran: gdb /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit and then: (gdb) target remote | /usr/local/bin/vgdb | /usr/local/bin/vgdb: Undefined error: 0 I was just following the steps in the manual, is there something special I'm missing here?
