You're better off using debugger-ruby_core_source:
gem install debugger-ruby_core_source
If you can't do this, try the following.
Here is how to fix the following error when installing the debugger gem fails:
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
Note: The following example is for a project using Ruby 1.9.3-p448 -- adjust accordingly for your project.
-
Fetch the source for your Ruby version, if you do not yet have it:
rvm fetch ruby-1.9.3-p448 -
Install the gem by explicitly telling it where your Ruby's source is located:
gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2' -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p448 -
Resume what you were doing before (probably a
bundle install).
Here is how the "full" error looks like when a Bundler installation fails.

An error occurred while installing debugger-linecache (1.1.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2'` succeeds before bundling.
