I’ve been having similar issues. There is apparently a fork of the project called simply ‘debugger’ as the original ruby-debug seems to have been abandoned (heresay).
Let me know if you find a solution; debugger didn’t work for me, but it is likely that my system is borked uniquely as most I know have no trouble.
Perfect, thanks! If only Ryan had posted this a couple days earlier, would have saved me a few hours

Ryan Bates has a revised screen cast on Railscasts from yesterday (4.7.2012) that tackles this topic:
Episode #54: Debugging Ruby (revised)
#54 Debugging Ruby (revised) - RailsCasts
It specifically tackles 'how to debug a rails app using the "debugger" gem'.
Might be worth a look ... or watch!
