Forum: JRuby using debugger with jruby.

I'm using jruby-1.6.6 in 1.9 mode and I want to use debugger in a
rails application.
I'm trying to install gem ruby-debug19 but I have the error:

Installing linecache19 (0.5.12) with native extensions
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native
extension.

        /home/mauro/jruby/bin/jruby extconf.rb
WARNING: JRuby does not support native extensions or the `mkmf'
library very well.

How can I use debugger with jruby?

I believe ruby-debug works for JRuby, regardless of the language mode.

I'm trying ruby-debug but in debug mode when I do, for example:

(rdb:2) break 10

I run into this error:

So is it a jruby bug?

You might wanna try pry, https://github.com/pry/pry, it works for me on 
1.9
mode running on 1.6.6

I had the same issue, appears to be a bug in ruby-debug-base-0.10.4. I
thought maybe 0.10.5.rc1 with its new linecache dependency might fix it
but not, the issue remains. I've attached a patch that fixes the issue
on ruby-debug-base-0.10.4. The same patch can be applied to
linecache-0.46-java/lib/linecache/trace_nums.rb as well, it is a simple
two word change.

This is still an issue with the latest version. Are we going to have a 
fully functional ruby-debug in JRuby anytime soon?
