Does anyone have insights as to why Malloc Debug won't recognize my  
application? Selecting Open... in the menu pops up a panel informing me that I  
do not own any "application configured for use with the Malloc Debugger." Yet I  
have linked my application with the proper library by adding  
/usr/lib/libMallocDebug.a to "Other libs" in IB as instructed in the Help  
Panel.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

MallocDebug attempts to locate running apps with the MallocDebug library
linked in.  If your app isn't already running, MallocDebug won't launch it.

Also, be sure that you haven't mucked with the Makefile.preamble in such
a way as to overide the LIB symbol.

With programs run from a shell, the program must be run using its full path
name in order for MallocDebug to find it.  Try running the App from a Terminal
window with its full path, i.e., "/Users/johnDoe/Apps/My.app".  If this is not
it, check to be sure the -lMallocDebug is the first library in the link
arguments for the link stage of the make--in other words, look at the make
output to be sure it *is* using that library.
