Can't install ruby-debug?

Has anyone else encountered this?

gem install ruby-debug
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-debug:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /Users/ohad/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby extconf.rb
Can't handle 1.9.x yet
*** extconf.rb failed ***

I use gemset in case it has anything to do with it.

Gem debugger

is the de facto standard for the current version of Ruby.

The only debugger that works for me so far is a gem debugger

found at https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger

Put gem 'debugger'

in Gemfile or install it for development only.

group :development do
  gem 'debugger'
end

I tried a couple of other options (which all failed) before landing on the debugger

gem. In particular, ruby-debug

and ruby-debug19

( https://github.com/denofevil/ruby-debug19 ).



ruby-debug

failed to install. While ruby-debug19

installing, I got an error require 'ruby-debug' ; Debugger.start

.

Here is my environment:

ruby 1.9.3p374 (2013-01-15 revision 38858) [i686-linux]
Rails 3.2.11
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 32bit

You need to use the version ruby-debug19

as the "regular" version is incompatible with Ruby 1.9:

gem install ruby-debug19

Check the gems project page for more information .
