I can’t find anything on this (with any solutions, that is) that has the same exact problem as me. I can’t install a certain gem on my system. I run:

gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby --pre

Everything is installed fine right now. Ruby 1.9.3 and the Ruby DevKit are installed as well. I’ve installed ruby-debug-base19x version 0.11.30.pre3 as well and that went smoothly. Right now, this is the only thing giving me problems. I’ve tried everything – restarting my machine, and even reinstalling Ruby and the Ruby DevKit.

Here’s the error from the gem_make.out file:

My apologies for the length of errors – I’m just tired of restarting from the beginning with no luck multiple times and making sure that everything I’m doing is correct and not overlooking anything. Thank you so much.

    It looks like a recent commit may have fixed this. Can you try pre9?
