Possible Solution to bundling ruby-debug19

In a previous article I posted a solution to ruby-debug19 not building when using rvm. Many people have found this helpful and I’d like to make it a little easier.

The solution I’ve found goes something like this

bundle config build.ruby-debug19 --with-ruby-include=<path to used ruby>

Now this should allow you to just run bundle install with no code puke but I don’t think I like it. I feel that doing this may be encroaching a bit on your team members development environment. In theory we should be using very similar development environments but in practice that doesn’t seem to be the case.

What do you think?

*** UPDATE 2 ***

You should probably just completely disregard this article for now, it must have been a fluke that it worked for me originally. I can no longer reproduce a successful result. Sorry for any misdirection.

*** UPDATE ***

This adds an entry to bundler config located in your $HOME directory. So if you’re using rvm, this may not be the greatest solution… depending on your environment. Still tell me what you think.

ruby-debug19 / linecache19 won’t build *grrr*

This is more of a reminder to myself but if you’re having this trouble too… have at this little nugget of knowledge. Does your linecache19 take a big dookie on your command line? Well if it won’t build… this will probably do it.

gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/<your_ruby19_version>/

Hope that helped.
