I prefer using the Ruby default debugger since I am planning to build a 
GUI for it, the minimal functionality. I try to use the debugger but it 
just seems to be in the wrong file look at this:

C:\Users\jbucaran>ruby -rdebug c:\users\jbucaran\desktop\demo2.rb
Debug.rb
Emacs support available.

C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb:10:require 
'rubygems'
(rdb:1) list
[5, 14] in C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb
   5  # All rights reserved.
   6  # See LICENSE.txt for permissions.
   7  #++
   8
   9
=> 10  require 'rubygems'
(rdb:1) list all
[-5, 4] in C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb
   1  # This file allows for the running of rubygems with a nice
   2  # command line look-and-feel: ruby -rubygems foo.rb
