Rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.9.3p125: ruby-debug19 still crashes with “Symbol not found: _ruby_threadptr_data_type”
I'm done with printing to the console -- I want to move up to the 20th century and start using a debugger!! But how do I install ruby-debug? The native compilation of ruby-debug.c
fails when I try to install the ruby-debug19 gem. I've looked over other SO postings and haven't found the answer yet...
If I add ruby-debug19 to my Gemfile and do bundle install
, it fails during build with conflicting types for 'rb_iseq_compile_with_option'
:
# file: Gemfile
...
group :development do
gem 'ruby-debug19'
end
...
% bundle install
...

If I try building the gem from the command line, using the --with-ruby-include argument pointing at the include
directory for the current ruby, I get the same error:
% gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$SANDBOX/packages/ruby-1.9.3-p0

Is --with-ruby-include expecting something different? Is the current ruby-debug19 broken?
Thanks to @Marc Talbot's comment in the OP, I found a working recipe.
