Eclipse CDT 8.1 (OSX) Valgrind [message #893296]

Hello this is my first post. I have installed version 8.1 of the Eclipse CDT, looks really nice. I have a problem when I'm going to profile using valgrind (which I already installed using macports: installed version 3.7 of valgrind). When I try to launch the profiler I get the message:
Couldn't determine version of Valgrind
java.io.IOException

I checked around in the setting to see if I can point Eclipse to the right path but without success, does anyone else have the same problem and hopefully a solution to the problem.

cheers
/ Chris

I downloaded Eclipse Luna for 64-bit Mac OS X, just a few days ago

So I can build and run the debug config of my C++ code as a local C++ app, but when I try to profile from within Eclipse using Valgrind, I get the same error message as the previous forum poster

"Couldn't determine version of Valgrind"

Is this an Eclipse bug that has not been fixed? Is there a workaround? I think (from what I see) that Valgrind is an integral part of the Eclipse Luna download. Or am I missing something? Do I need to go outside of Eclipse to download Valgrind, separately from the Eclipse download?

Here's what I downloaded from Eclipse:

Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Luna Release (4.4.0)
Build id: 20140612-0600

Valgrind is an external tool. You have to download it separately. Eclipse only provides an UI wrapper around Valgrind.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

If anyone already has Valgrind installed on their system, but is getting the "could not determine version of Valgrind" error message when they attempt to use the Valgrind profiler tool directly from Eclipse, this page on stackoverflow is something they should look at. The post title at stackoverflow is :

Eclipse Luna error messages on GDB and Valgrind, unable to Debug or Profile C++ program as Local C/C++ Application
