If your Ruby compiled with Visual Studio?

Unless you compiled yourself, I guess not (also it seems RubyInstaller
+ DevKit)

A suggestion?

1. Download RubyInstaller http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

2. Install it in the recommended directory

3. Download DevKit http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

4. Extract it to a folder (C:\RubyDevKit for example)

5. Open a command prompt and follow the DevKit installation
instructions: http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

6. gem install ruby-debug (for ruby 1.8) or ruby-debug19 (for Ruby
1.9.x)

Please note that ruby-debug needs to download Ruby source package to
compile it extension. That is because it depends on some Ruby
internals not exposed otherwise.

Due this, it requires an active internet connection.
