hi, guys

I looked at

> **[Debugging Rails Applications — Ruby on Rails Guides](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/debugging_rails_applications.html)**
>
> Debugging Rails ApplicationsThis guide introduces techniques for debugging Ruby on Rails applications.After reading this guide, you will know: The purpose of debugging. How to track down problems and issues in your application that your tests aren't...

and figured I give bleak house a try.

I ran into a problem during installation of the gem.

Here’s an extract:

I tried googling around and even went to the project homepage,  
[http://github.com/fauna/bleak\_house](http://github.com/fauna/bleak_house).  
I cannot find any solutions there.

Has anyone tried using bleak house and had luck?

Thanks 🙂
