I'm trying to install ruby-debug. I'm using Mac OS 10.7.4, XCode version 2308, and Ruby version 1.9.3-p194.
Following the instructions here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/debugging_rails_applications.html#debugging-with-ruby-debug, I tried running
sudo gem install ruby-debug
I got the following error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug:

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/andrew/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26 for inspection.

So I tried the following command:
sudo gem install debugger
Which resulted in:
Fetching: columnize-0.3.6.gem (100%)

So I researched the issue and finally came across this post:
how do I install ruby-debug in ruby 1.9.3 / Rails 3.2.1
Everything worked until I tried the command:
gem install ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem -- --with-ruby-include=$SANDBOX/packages/ruby-1.9.3-p194
Which just reproduced the first error, above. So I looked into
rb_method_entry_t.called_id
And found this post: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/56/#issuecomment-3463264
I tried his suggested steps, except for rehash (which I'm not sure how to do with rvm, and didn't want to switch to rbenv just to try it). I downloaded all the gems he recommended to a folder, and ran the following command:
gem install *.gem -- --with-ruby-include=$(echo ~/.rvm/rubies/1.9.3-p194/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.3-p194/) --no-rdoc --no-ri
It installed linecache19-0.5.13 fine, but it choked on ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem, producing the first error again.
I also tried uninstalling the debugger gems added when I ran sudo gem install debugger, but that hasn't changed anything.
I'm at a loss for what to do next.
