Hi guys, I'm new to Lazarus.

After installing the latest packages on my Mac with the latest version
of Sierra when I open Lazarus it says it cannot find GDB. I searched
and looked everywhere and cannot find it on my machine.

I uninstalled and reinstalled again and same problem...

Did I miss a step? Do I have to separately install or compile GDB?

You have to install GDB.

Try this, keeping in mind that the reports are mixed on whether people
get gdb running correctly on Sierra. I don't even bother trying.

Apple moved away from gcc/gdb years ago and now include llvm/lldb with
Xcode. You can also export your Lazarus project to Xcode and debug
your Lazarus app in Xcode with lldb:
