I’ve read that Eclipse’s debugger will not work unless the Ruby  
debugger is bound to port 1098. Anyone know a solution? There may be  
another application binding to that port already, but is there a way  
around it?

Title: Using the Ruby Development Tools plug-in for Eclipse  
This article introduces using the Ruby Development Tools (RDT) plug-in  
for Eclipse, which allows Eclipse to become a first-rate Ruby  
development environment. Ruby developers who want to learn how to use  
the rich infrastructure of the Eclipse community to support their  
language will benefit.
