Can't install on Ubuntu with Ruby 2

I'm also getting this today, on OS X using rbenv. I get the same error if I try the 0.4.23 beta instead.

same error for me too

idem for 2.1.3

Hey guys - I found out how to get this working on all versions of Ruby. I was using ruby-2.0.0-p576, and after some research found out that the debugger-ruby_core_source dependency only supports specific patchlevels of ruby.

If you want to compile ruby-debug-ide or debase on your machine, you have 2 options:

1. Use a Ruby version whose patchlevel is supported by debugger-ruby_core_source. That list can be found here: https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger-ruby_core_source/tree/master/lib/debugger/ruby_core_source. When you use a Ruby patchlevel that they support, the gem compilation will be "automatic" for you. and you shouldn't have to do anything further. The ruby-debug-ide gem will find the right files from the debugger-ruby_core_source dependency based on your ruby version & patchlevel.
2. If you are using a patchlevel that is not supported by debugger-ruby_core_source (i.e., isn't on that list I linked to), you must explicitly tell Gem or Bundler where the files needed for compilation are located. That can be done in the following 2 ways:
   • Using rubygems
     • gem install ruby-debug-ide -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/$rvm_ruby_string
   • Before using bundler
     • bundle config build.ruby-debug-ide --with-ruby-include=/usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-2.0.0-p576/

Hopefully this helps someone!

Also, there is a debase-ruby_core_source library that supports only Ruby 2 or better. Through my research, I discovered that the debase gem has been setup to use it over debugger-ruby_core_source. The next released gem of debase will only support the rubies that debase-ruby_core_source supports as a result. To get the 'automatic' compilation, you will have to use a patchlevel that it supports. That list of supported rubies can be found here: https://github.com/os97673/debase-ruby_core_source/tree/master/lib/debase/ruby_core_source

Good luck debugging friends =)

[os97673]

with debase 0.1.0 the problem will be fixed, but for every new ruby version we will have same problem again and again (because debase needs ruby sources). We will do our best to update debase-ruby_core_source as fast as possible but "--with-ruby-include" is should work always.

[tobinibot]

Thanks for the info, I haven't had time to try @pgibler's suggestion yet, but I'm planning on trying it. When is the debase 0.1.0 release planned?

[os97673]

we will test it with RubyMine and I think it will be released in about a week.

I know its been a long time, but i have same problems on windows 7 x64, does anyone knows how to resolve that?
