An error occured while installing debugger-linecache (1.1.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.1'` succeeds before bundling.
If i type ruby-v in the terminal I get
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-linux]
If I do gem install debugger-linecache I still get the same error.
How this can be solved. Please help??

Answer 1

I had a very similar error, but on ruby 1.9.3. Running:
gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2' -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p286/
Got it working for me. Credit to this answer.

Answer 2

I solved similiar problem (upgrading Ruby 1.9.3 to 2.0) with simple
bundle update debugger
which as a result installed gem version 1.6.0

Answer 3

Same fix, a bit more up to date
# check ruby version with rvm info
gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2' \
-- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p448

Answer 4

On Ubuntu 13.04 if that matters.
I had to:
gem install debugger-ruby_core_source -v 1.1.2
then:
gem install debugger
Then my bundle completed fine.
Thanks to this comment on the issue.
