this may help you, it works for me

gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2' -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p286/

This solved it for me. Just replaced p286 with p374, which is my current patch level and I was good to go. – Marcelo De Polli Feb 02 '13 at 02:09
Thank you; you're a lifesaver. This seems like a bug in... something. Probably rvm. – duma Mar 01 '13 at 15:29

If you got no source for your ruby version (binary download) then you can do `rvm fetch ` – wintersolutions Mar 30 '13 at 14:20

This error means that the selected version of debugger does not support your current Ruby version. There are two solutions:

Update the debugger gem via bundle update debugger. New versions of debugger are backward-compatible with old Ruby versions, so this is the best way to fix it.
Downgrade your Ruby version.

This is a great fix if you are using rbenv instead of RVM. Thanks. – Jorge Diaz Mar 18 '14 at 20:19

The problem was that I was using gemsets incorrectly. I knew not having permissions were an issue, as under RVM I shouldn't need sudo to install anything.

rvm gemset use global and then a bundle install did the trick.

maybe you should use "ruby_project/.ruby-gemset" file to avoid issues with your gemsets. – nisevi May 21 '15 at 08:41

From the below link:

https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger/issues/50

I have installed gem ruby-debug19 and problem solved for me as below:

$ bundle
... -> failed to build debugger-linecache
$ gem install ruby-debug19
$ bundle
... -> all is fine

In my case problem was not related to debugger-linecache directly. Either try upgrading debugger-ruby_core_source or downgrade Ruby by few patchlevels.

I've executed bundle update debugger-linecache. Although I had its newest version in Gemfile.lock, debugger-ruby_core_source has been upgraded to 1.1.5 and debugger-linecache has stopped complaining.

I installed debugger-ruby_core_source gem, based on perusing old answers here: https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger/issues/12

If you are using rvm, then make sure the path lead to ruby, in rvm its rubies folder

$rvm_path/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p448

gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2'  -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p448

Your Gemfile.lock wasn't written with the same Ruby that you're trying to bundle against.

bundle update should work by making Bundler look at different versions.
