Hello guys, I have installed jruby 1.1.2 and it works ok. I have added it to Eclipse and I cannot install the ruby-debug-ide because it is a native C extension. How can I get the debug-ide for jruby 1.1.2? Thanks, Guillermo ---

Hi Guillermo, ruby-debug-ide is not a native extension. But it depends on other gem - ruby-debug-base; which is native extension. There is implementation of ruby-debug-base for JRuby. To see how to install it take a look at: [http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/#jruby-debug](http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/#jruby-debug) [http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/Using\_the\_JRuby\_Debugger](http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/Using_the_JRuby_Debugger) or NetBeans wiki (will be similar for other IDEs utilizing ruby-debug-ide): [http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyDebugging#section-RubyDebugging-JRuby](http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyDebugging#section-RubyDebugging-JRuby) m.
