FreeRIDE - Debug mode hangs

I am just getting started with RUBY. I downloaded the latest release
(ruby184-16p3.exe) for windows. I created a simple hello world
program. It ran it in run mode.

def say_goodnight(name)
result = “Good night, #{name}”
return result
end

puts say_goodnight(‘Pa’)

It ran fine. I tried to run it in debug mode and it hangs. When I
kill the task it give me the following info.

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:563:in read': Invalid argument (DRb::DRbConnErr or) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:563:inload’

I looked at the code and I don’t see what is causing this. I disabled
the firewall.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I did exactly the same thing you did.

I pulled down the separate version of FreeRIDE and used it and no
problem. It just seems to be a problem with the version that comes
with the Ruby Windows install.
