As you can see, the result of building the native extensions are logget to 
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@global/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.16/ext/gem_
make.out

Have you looked at the contents of that file? If so, what does it say? It 
should contain all the output produced while trying to build the native 
extensions.
