Has anyone else encountered this? 

gem install ruby-debug
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-debug:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /Users/ohad/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby extconf.rb
Can't handle 1.9.x yet
*** extconf.rb failed ***

I am using a gemset if that has anything to do with it.

The debugger gem is the de facto standard for the current version of Ruby.

The only debugger that works for me so far is the debugger gem found at https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger

Put the gem 'debugger' in Gemfile or install it just for development.

group :development do
  gem 'debugger'
end

I have tried a couple of other options (which all failed) before landing on debugger gem. Specifically, ruby-debug and ruby-debug19 (https://github.com/denofevil/ruby-debug19).

ruby-debug failed to install. While ruby-debug19 did install, I got an error on require 'ruby-debug' ; Debugger.start.

Here is my environment:

ruby 1.9.3p374 (2013-01-15 revision 38858) [i686-linux]
Rails 3.2.11
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 32bit

You need to use the ruby-debug19 version as the 'regular' version is incompatible with Ruby 1.9:

gem install ruby-debug19

For more information check the gems project page.

  • ruby-debug19 isn't compatible with 1.9.3 at this time. As @jimmy_cuadra said, the "debugger" gem is the de facto standard. – the Tin Man Jan 24 '13 at 13:50
