Problem with dependencies in Rails 4.0.1

[fluxusfrequency]

Hi,

I'm trying to get jazz_hands working on a Rails 4.0.1 project, but am getting this error:

Installing debugger (1.6.2)
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/Users/benlewis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby extconf.rb

*** extconf.rb failed ***

...

An error occurred while installing debugger (1.6.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install debugger -v '1.6.2' succeeds before bundling.

Seems like an issue with the debugger gem not being able to recompile it's native extensions?

Have you upgraded to Mavericks but didn't recompile your ruby?

[fluxusfrequency]

Hmm, I tried recompiling, but it didn't change anything. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Does running gem install debugger -v '1.6.2' work? If it doesn't, then this is an issue for the debugger gem (a dependency), not this one. It would help if you posted the log file that usually follows that message "Results logged to ..."

Hi,

Thanks for helping. It looks like it must be a debugger problem.

The log file reads:

/Users/benlewis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby extconf.rb 
*** extconf.rb failed ***
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

Also, is this the pry-debugger, or ruby-debug gem?

I use Mavericks and rbenv to manage my ruby environment. I have no problems - only with pry itself. But that's a bug in pry-0.9.12.4.

[nixme]

debugger is the gem from https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger.

pry-debugger, this gem, is some glue between debugger and pry, the two upstream gems that provide the bulk of functionality.

[nixme]

Ah, I misread which project I'm managing. This gem is jazz_hands, not pry-debugger. Anyhow, you might want to try the "bring-your-own-debugger" branch as mentioned in #12 to get jazz_hands working. Since you look to be using Ruby 2.0.0, just add pry-byebug to your Gemfile right after.

Thanks! That worked like a charm!
