You probably have RUBYOPT environment variable set to load rubygems automatically (it is set up automatically with the 1-click installer). You can set a breakpoint in the first line of your file as the first command to the debugger and then continue until you reach it: c:\TEMP>ruby -rdebug foo.rb Debug.rb Emacs support available. c:/bin/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb:4:require 'rubygems' (rdb:1) b foo.rb:1 Set breakpoint 1 at foo.rb:1 (rdb:1) c Breakpoint 1, toplevel at foo.rb:1 foo.rb:1:print "hello" (rdb:1) HTH, Assaph
