gem install ruby-debug-ide errors don't give me anything to lookfor.

[Kedar Mhaswade]

Hope I am not missing something obvious. I have searched high and low.
With rvm 1.1.6, ruby 1.9.2-p0 on Ubuntu 10.04, I tried to do:
gem install -v ruby-debug-ide

and I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Exactly what is wrong? I think I have installed all the native library
packages. But this *error* message is awfully terse.

Thanks in advance for any help/pointers.

Have you looked at the contents of that file? If so, what does it say?
It
should contain all the output produced while trying to build the native=

extensions.

Ugh. I thought I already "more"ed its contents. Pasting them again here:

Yeah, they are surprisingly terse!

Did you install any *-dev packages that ruby-debug-ide might need, too?

Debian and derivatives don't install those by default.

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.

In theory, the documentation for the gem should tell you (since I have
no Debian-ish distro ready, I can't help any more; I do my debugging
with plenty of puts and pp statements, anyway. ).

I just tried this. On 1.8.7 it took only a few seconds here.
I ran it from the "system ruby" side (not really using rvm).

peterv@ASUS:~$ rvm use
Now using system ruby. # that is 1.8.7p... (Ubuntu 10.04)

Actually, the _exact_ command you show in your first mail,
with the -v option, fails here:

peterv@ASUS:~$ gem install -v ruby-debug-ide
ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)

...

My list of related libraries (split up installed ones
and not installed ones):

peterv@ASUS:~$ dpkg -l | egrep '^ii' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep "dev$"
autotools-dev
comerr-dev

peterv@ASUS:~$ dpkg -l | egrep '^u' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep "dev$"

So this was on ruby 1.8.7.

Looking at the file, that may make a difference ...
(you are on rvm 1.9.2)

peterv@ASUS:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.16/ext$ cat
mkrf_conf.rb

ruby = defined?(JRUBY_VERSION) || (defined?(RUBY_ENGINE) && 'jruby' ==
RUBY_ENGINE)
unless jruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/command.rb'
require 'rubygems/dependency_installer.rb'

begin
Gem::Command.build_args = ARGV
rescue NoMethodError
end

inst = Gem:ependencyInstaller.new
begin
if RUBY_VERSION < "1.9"
inst.install "ruby-debug-base", '>=0.10.4'
else
inst.install "ruby-debug-base19", '>=0.11.24'
end
rescue
exit(1)
end
end

# create dummy rakefile to indicate success
f = File.open(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "Rakefile"), "w")
f.write("task :default\n")
f.close


Trying in ruby 1.9.2 now ....

For some reason or another ... this takes forever
(it worked now, but took more than a minute to compile
this now ???). But it worked.

peterv@ASUS:~$ gem install ruby-debug-ide

Just in case you need to go deep into the build, these kind of
files may give hints. Particularly this file:

$ cd ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/ruby-debug-base19-0.11.24
$ less ext/ruby_debug/mkmf.log

will probably give a hint.

In my case of a succeeded build, these are the binary files (object and
shared object).

Hmmm, just a few other ideas ... (shooting in the dark here ...).

* did you try on 1.8.7 or with rvm use system?
* The process must have done "something" that could be traceable
and tell you which library or .h file is missing ...

Maybe try to find all modified files there just after an unsuccessful
build ? This will list all files that where modified less than 5 minutes
ago (and removing the innocent /doc/ files):

~/.rvm$ find . -mmin -5 | grep -v '/doc/'
/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1
/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.2-p0
/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.2-p0/vm_exec.h
...

HTH,

It's not clear what is missing.
I have reproduced this problem on another system.
This has only 1.9.2-p136 (the latest installed).

I am surprised that it's only me.
