ruby-debug-ide for Ruby 1.9 released

[Mark Moseley]

"gem install ruby-debug-ide" now works for both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9
(version 0.4.7).

"gem install ruby-debug-ide" now works for both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9
(version 0.4.7).

Confused, I am. What is the difference between ruby-debug (which won't
install with my ruby1.9 installation) and ruby-debug-ide (which also
won't install)..?

Relative to the ruby-debug-ide install failure, here's what I get:

$ sudo gem19 install ruby-debug-ide
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-ide:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/local/bin/ruby19 extconf.rb install ruby-debug-ide
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

/usr/local/lib/ruby19/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.7/ext/gem_make.out

That gem_make.out file contains...
/usr/local/bin/ruby19 extconf.rb install ruby-debug-ide
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Any help in making sense of this would be much appreciated.

install with my ruby1.9 installation) and ruby-debug-ide (which also
won't install)..?

As far as the command-line:
ruby-debug is for 1.8 only; ruby-debug19 is for 1.9 only
For the IDE:
ruby-debug-ide is (supposed to be) for both

Relative to the ruby-debug-ide install failure, here's what I get:

$ sudo gem19 install ruby-debug-ide
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-ide:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Not enough info to tell. Can you zip up your entire gems directory and
email it to me?

That's helpful, in that I didn't know there was a ruby-debug19. I still
don't know what rudy-debug-ide is, however. I have been unable to find
anything about it via Google.

I'm very familiar with ruby-bug in ruby 1.8.7. My dependence upon it has
been what's kept me from migrating to ruby 1.9. So, with there being a
ruby-debug19 out, I have tried to install it. Failed. Here's the output:

Not enough info to tell. Can you zip up your entire gems directory and
email it to me?

If I still need to do this, do you the directory's whole contents itself
or just the dir listing?

Thanks very much for your help! I've been eagerly waiting for ruby-debug
to work in 1.9, and I'm excited that we're pretty close to getting there.

don't know what rudy-debug-ide is, however. I have been unable to find
anything about it via Google.

ruby-debug-ide is two things:

1.) a standardized communication protocol between Ruby implementations
(or more precisely Ruby debuggers) and Ruby IDEs. Every debugger that
conforms to the protocol will *automatically* work with every Ruby IDE
that conforms to the protocol and vice versa.

2.) a set of gems that implement adapters for said standardized
protocol for debuggers that are *not* compliant with the protocol,
like ruby-debug for example.

To put it another way: ruby-debug-ide is to debuggers and IDEs as Rack
is to web frameworks and web servers.

Great - I get it now. I rather suspected that might be what it was
about, but was quite unsure.

I'm very familiar with ruby-bug in ruby 1.8.7. My dependence upon it has
been what's kept me from migrating to ruby 1.9. So, with there being a
ruby-debug19 out, I have tried to install it. Failed. Here's the output:

$ sudo gem19 install ruby-debug19
[sudo] password for tomc:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug19:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

This is the result of a bug in ruby-debug-base19; it doesn't work
properly with ruby-1.9.1-p0. I recommend updating the Ruby 1.9 version
to ruby-1.9.1-p243 or ruby-1.9.2-preview1.

But in case you or someone else has to stay with 1.9.1-p0, I will fix
this and release an update later today.

New gem is up now; ruby-debug-base19 v0.11.16.

Wow, what a difference a day makes! Thanks, Mark, for your work, and
your help. I've successfully installed ruby-debug19. And I'll look into
updating my ruby 1.9 version, as well.

Thanks. I've waited a while for real access to ruby 1.9, since I had to
have ruby-debug.
