Or you can do only this:

gem install linecache19 ruby-debug-base19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0/

Without linecache19-0.5.13 and ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26 you can install. When you require 'ruby-debug':

The one-liner you presented in the commented code did it for me! Finally I can use rdebug, thanks! I use Ubuntu 11.10 together with rvm.

See this thread.. http://blog.wyeworks.com/2011/11/1/ruby-1-9-3-and-ruby-debug
Bottom line: ruby-debuy19 is no longer maintained, use https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger
