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.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/debugger-linecache-1.1.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/debugger-linecache-1.1.1/ext/trace_nums/gem_make.out

i have already done:

sudo gem install debugger-ruby_core_source
