Question

I refered this post to install How to debug ruby on rails in eclipse aptana plugin ruby-debug-ide and this link .

I have installed

C:\Users>gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby --pre
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed ruby-debug-ide-0.4.17.beta14
1 gem installed

But I got this error when I install ruby-debug-ide

C:\Users>gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...

ERROR:  Error installing ruby-debug-ide:

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.16 for inspection.

Here is my environment

C:\Users>gem environment

Did you try

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

It should work.
