#To install ruby-debug on Ubuntu ruby-1.9.3 you need to download from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=8883

#Then in your console

export RVM_SRC=/your/path/to/ruby-1.9.3
# Note, your source path should be something like /home/user/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0

gem install archive-tar-minitar
gem install ruby_core_source-0.1.5.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC
gem install linecache19-0.5.13.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC

For anyone else that has problems with this, checkout @andrewroth 's post, that worked for me!

Why is this still not fixed yet?!?!

+1 for @andrewroth's method!

Couldn't you also use Ruby 1.9's built-in debugger?

require 'debug'

Or via the command-line:

$ ruby -rdebug test.rb

Also, the debugger fork of ruby-debug19 should work, if you absolutely need to stick with ruby-debug.

Thanx @jeremyw and @postmodern, I'm using debugger now.

On my super vanilla CentOS 6.3:

gem install ruby_core_source
gem install linecache
gem install ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/usr/local/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.3-p0/

couldn't have worked without @andrewroth's help. Ty dude!

@boriscy now that rubyforge has been definitely shut down, where to download ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem?
