Error installing debugger: Failed to build gem native extension with ruby-1.9.3-p362

Question

While trying run bundle for a new project, I'm encountering the following error:

Installing debugger (1.2.2) with native extensions
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/debugger-1.2.2 for inspection.
Results logged to C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/debugger-1.2.2/ext/ruby_debug/gem_make.out
An error occured while installing debugger (1.2.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install debugger -v '1.2.2'` succeeds before bundling.

Running gem install debugger -v '1.2.2' produces the same results.

I've checked the contents of the mkmf.log and gem_make.out file and they make little sense, but if requested I will post them.

Why doesn't this work?

Answer 1

I ran into same issue. I tried:

bundle update debugger

My Gemfile had this:

gem 'debugger'

And it worked, I did not have to change Gemfile. Output of bundle shows something like this

...

Installing debugger-ruby_core_source (1.1.6)

Installing debugger-linecache (1.1.2) with native extensions

Installing debugger (1.1.4) with native extensions
