Computer programs are all written in some sort of programming code language (there are numerous code languages) that tells the computer what to do.
However, the programmers that do the writing are people and therefore sometimes make mistakes. These mistakes, which can keep the program from functioning as intended, are called "bugs" or "glitches". They may be simple things like a mis-typed line of code, or more complex things like software conflicts.
Debugging is basically removing or fixing these mistakes so that the program will work properly.
They are called "bugs" because of an incident in the early days of computing, when computers took up whole rooms.
In 1947 the cause of an error in Harvard's Mark II computer was found to be a moth that had become trapped in the circuitry.
Thus, the first "computer bug" was in fact an actual bug.

You are attempting to run a debug version of a machine code program, but you do not have the required debugger.
An integrated development environment (IDE).

You can debug C programs using gdb on Unix.
The purpose of the computer software Active Pearl is to use in addition to Java to actively both debug your computer from viruses and to compile all the data on it.
An error in a computer program is called a bug. Prior to releasing programs, developers will debug them, making sure there are no errors in the final version.
The program should have a help area. search the helpe area for information about the debug information the program displays/
