When attempting to install ruby-debug19 on a Windows 7 partition, I have gotten the following error sequence:
ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug19:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

from extconf.rb:32:in `<main>'I have tried re-installing Ruby (version 1.9.3 p0) and DevKit, but this did not seem to change the result, nor did removing c:\MinGW\bin from the PATH variable. The error remains the same when using the latest version of the debug-base gem (ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem) gets the same result.
Adding the option '--with-ruby-include=C:\Ruby193\include' simply results in the error message:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption
invalid option: --with-ruby-include=C:\Ruby193\includeI installed ruby_core_source, but this didn't change the error. I then tried installing the preview version of ruby-debug19x (0.11.30), and got a rather different set of error messages:

make: *** [ruby_debug.so] Error 1This seems to imply that the problem (in the preview at least) lies with
the 'realpath' function, which appears to be in the Ruby source rather
than Ruby-Debug. I have been able to install other native gems such as rdiscount, which implies that the DevKit installation is at least partially correct. I am wondering if anyone can give any recommendations.
