Thanks, but I am still getting the same error.  Here is what I did:

1) I added the environment variable (full path to my shared library that I want to debug):
CFProcessPath=/Applications/adir/anotherdir/mydynamiclibrary.dylib


2) I restarted my system to make sure the environment variable took, which it did.

3) I clicked the Debug button in Project Builder

Here is everything that I got back:

Launch failed with error code -2857

6. Why do I get "Launch failed with error code -2857" when launching
from the Terminal?

There is a problem with the interaction between the Code Fragment
Manager (CFM) and Core Foundation (CF) which causes LaunchCFMApp to
sometimes fail when launched from the terminal (or gdb).

True, the error code means it can't find the 'cfrg' resource. This
is  because CF gets confused and thinks the application is
"LaunchCFMApp"  instead of your target bundle.

To work around the problem for the time being, define the
environment  variable "CFProcessPath" to be the full path to your
executable. This  will force CF to locate the correct "bundle" for
your app. This should  get you debugging again!

I am trying to debug a shared library in project builder from a CFM
project.

I followed the instructions exactly of the following article
(http://lists.apple.com/archives/projectbuilder-users/2001/Feb/
msg00210.html) which is reiterated verbatim below.

When I performed step 6), I got the error "Launch failed with error
code -2857".
I have read every article in the project builder archives
concerning  how to solve my problem and the solution did not appear
to be there.

My Mac is running OS 10.2.X
