Error: installing ruby-debug-ide

Question

The truth is that i am new to ruby on rails development. Not that i can not install the gem install ruby-debug-ide on aptana studio 3.

gem install ruby-debug-ide  
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-debug-ide:

g-ide-0.4.16 for inspection.

tl;dr: what made the difference is this command: gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby --pre – Henze

Answer 1

Since it seems you have DevKit installed already, run this command

gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby --pre

As mentioned in that post, it's a bug fixed in not yet released version of ruby-debug-ide

Edit:

This seems to work (Windows 7 64 bit):

gem install ruby-debug-ide --pre

gem install ruby-debug-base19x --pre

I have installed gem using Terminal. If i run rb file using Debug run , still my code doesn't stop on the break point. But i have below message in the console: Fast Debugger (ruby-debug-ide 0.6.0, debase 0.2.1, file filtering is supported) listens on 127.0.0.1:54292 – Stepdaughter
