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.      C:/Ruby193/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for rb_method_entry_t.called_id in method.h... no checking for rb_control_frame_t.method_id in method.h... no checking for rb_method_entry_t.called_id in method.h... no checking for rb_control_frame_t.method_id in method.h... no Makefile creation failed ************************************************************************** No source for ruby-1.9.3-p362 provided with debugger-ruby_core_source gem. ************************************************************************** *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

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
