try installing the sources gem first, and the rubyforge one... it might help

I am sorry but I don't understand what do you mean when you say "try installing the sources gem first, and the rubyforge one... it might help" - How do I do that? Bharat

Apoligies for not thinking through and investigating. Based on your suggestion, here is what I did.

gem install sources

then

gem install ruby-debug -y

And everything worked fine. A bit of educational question however, what exactly is the function of sources gem?

Thanks again.

Follow up questions:

1. I found that the gem install ruby-debug -y command had installed: ruby-debug-0.10.1 and ruby-debug-base-0.10.1. I thought that the most recent version of ruby-debug was 0.9.3? Why did it install 0.10.1 then?

2. I am trying to install ruby-debug-ide which gives me the following response:

ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-ide:         ruby-debug-ide requires ruby-debug-base (= 0.10.0)

Please advise.

Bharat Ruparel:

ruby-debug-0.10.1 appears to be a broken release.

I posted some instructions at the top of here on how to roll back to 0.10.0:

(i'll remove the instructions when the problem is resolved, for those of you who stumble upon this message after the fact)
