I then tried installing the preview version of ruby-debug19x (0.11.30), and got a rather different set of error messages: -------------------------------------------------------------- Fetching: ruby-debug-base19x-0.11.30.pre6.gem (100%) Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...

Any thoughts? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
