Error launching external scanner ...

    I'm having a problem configuring the Eclipse, CDT and AVR Plugin for use on a Mac OS X machine. I doubt the problem has anything directly to do with the plugin but I'm not sure and, besides, it gives me a chance to say thanks for a great tool.

    Currently I'm able to successfully compile my project, but I get a " Error launching external scanner info generator" warning.

    To quote "Error launching external scanner info generator (avr-gcc -E -P -v -dD /Users/mirage/Electronics/AVR/Eclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.c)"

    I suspect that Eclipse is unable to find "avr-gcc" although when I start up a Mac OS terminal shell the command executes just fine. Any ideas on what is going on here? Is there a way to actually interact with the shell that Eclipse invokes so I can see what $PATHS are set up there?

    Thanks

    HI,

    did you ever find a solution to the problem? There is a new from a user with
    the same problem.

    I am not familiar with OS X and I don't have access to a Mac to replicate the
    problem.

    brgds,

    Thomas

    Not a solution, but launching the eclipse executable in your eclipse directory
    instead of launching eclipse.app cleared the warning and the include files are
    discovered and added.
