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...

I am using Ruby 1.9.3-p0
I am using Rails 3.2 (with Gemfile, of course)
I am NOT using RVM -- instead, I have a fully sandboxed directory containing all executables, gems, sources, etc. I refer to it as $SANDBOX below...

bundle install doesn't work

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
...

gem install ruby-debug from the command line doesn't work

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

what am I missing?

Is --with-ruby-include expecting something different? Is the current ruby-debug19 broken?

回答1:

Thanks to @Marc Talbot's comment in the OP, I found a working recipe.

download linecache19 and ruby-debug-base19 from RubyForge:

% curl -OL http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75414/linecache19-0.5.13.gem
% curl -OL http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75415/ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem

compile the two gems

% gem install linecache19-0.5.13.gem
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed linecache19-0.5.13

% gem install ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem -- --with-ruby-include=$SANDBOX/packages/ruby-1.9.3-p0
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26

update your Gemfile

# file: Gemfile
...
group :development do
  gem 'linecache19', '0.5.13'
  gem 'ruby-debug-base19', '0.11.26'
  gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'
end

bundle install and test the debugger

% bundle install

Your bundle is complete! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
% irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'ruby-debug'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> debugger
$SANDBOX/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/context.rb:166
@last_value = value
(rdb:1) p 'hooray'
"hooray"

Hopefully this will help others.

回答2:

(From your logs, I assume you are on Linux, specifically a Debian distro) There is a simple solution to this: In the shell,

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev1.9.3

Note: I don't actually know if there is a package called ruby-dev1.9.3, because I installed ruby-dev for 1.9.2, which was ruby-dev1.9 (I think. That was a while ago. If anyone knows what they are, please comment).

This package installs the headers that the C extensions to the interpreter need (ruby.h).
