Unable to use ruby-debug

I'm trying to use ruby-debug but when I try to start the server with it, I get an error saying I need to install it (even though it's installed):

tiberius:project Jonathan$ sudo gem install ruby-debug Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed ruby-debug-base-0.10.4 Successfully installed ruby-debug-0.10.4 2 gems installed Installing ri documentation for ruby-debug-base-0.10.4... Installing ri documentation for ruby-debug-0.10.4... Installing RDoc documentation for ruby-debug-base-0.10.4... Installing RDoc documentation for ruby-debug-0.10.4...

tiberius:project Jonathan$ rails server --debug => Booting WEBrick => Rails 3.0.0 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug' Exiting

tiberius:project Jonathan$ gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS *** ... ruby-debug (0.10.4) ruby-debug-base (0.10.4) ...

The gem also appears to run okay:

tiberius:project Jonathan$ irb

require 'ruby-debug'

=> true

Any idea why it's not working?

In Rails 3 you need to include the gem in Gemfile

gem 'ruby-debug'

If you're using ruby1.9.2 try:

group :development, :test do    gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => "ruby-debug" end

in your Gemfile.

I'd imply you should update to Rails 3.0.1 because of a security-update for nested attributes (if you use 'em).

That did the trick! I just converted over to Rails 3 so I wasn't aware of the Gemfile requirement. smbepiec, thanks for the suggestion -- it will come in handy when I update to Ruby 1.9.2.

you will also need to type the following at the prompt:

bundle install
