Alternative to 'ruby-debug19' (culprit 'linecache19') on ruby 2.0.0p247?

Question

I am frustrated because I have tried other StackOverflow articles on this issue, but have been unsuccessful in fixing my own error. When I call

'gem install linecache19'

...the following error is outputed

ERROR:  Error installing linecache19:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Please notice the culprit line...

/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/ruby_core_source-0.1.5/lib/contrib/uri_ext.rb:268:in `block (2 levels) in read': Looking for http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz and all I got was a 404! (URI::NotFoundError)

Obviously this does not work...the url http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz doesn't make sense. (Accesses Ruby1.9 then looks for the Ruby2.0 tar.gz)

This is for a class project (for CS169: Software Engineering at UC Berkeley) that requires the gem 'ruby-debug19', which tries to install 'linecache19'.

Do I have to downgrade to ruby1.9, or can I keep using ruby2.0?

When I call

$ruby -v

I get the following...

ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux]

I am using RVM.

I am slightly suspicious that linecache19 does not support ruby 2.0.

Could be that the selected version of debugger does not support your current Ruby version, update debugger gem: `bundle update debugger`. — rmagnum2002, Oct 15 '13 at 07:56

Try installing byebug instead of debugger for Ruby 2.0. You already seem to have the minimum supportable patchlevel of Ruby.

2 questions: 1) Is ruby-debug19 the same thing as debugger? 2) If so, would changing to byebug damage my already existing code? – bjliu Oct 15 '13 at 21:05
1) debugger is a newer port of ruby-debug19. https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger has a "What's different from ruby-debug19" section. 2) Absolutely not, you'll just have to use `byebug` where you'd have used `debugger` – HargrimmTheBleak Oct 16 '13 at 02:36

debugger and linecache are not supported by Ruby 2.0. You can use byebug gem instead.

Try doing this:

gem install linecache19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247

Try using debugger gem then, instead of ruby-debug19, the api calls are the same, and i think debugger is better supported. I just now realized you are trying to use ruby-debug19. I never did manage to get it to work on 1.9+ `gem install debugger -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247` – berislavbabic Oct 15 '13 at 07:48
Thanks! I think that is the culprit...19 seems to stand for Ruby1.9, I have updated to question to reflect this--the problem now becomes finding an alternative to ruby-debug19, which does not work on Ruby2.0. – bjliu Oct 15 '13 at 20:51

Add this in your gem file

   gem 'debugger'

and give

   bundle install

you just need to replace the code in url

/home/{your-user-name]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p645/gems/ruby_core_source-0.1.5/lib/ruby_core_source.rb

from 1.9 to 2.0
