I read the following link about integrating debug with textmate. It  
mentions going to terminal and typing

rdebug -sn ./script/server webrick

But that seems like the way to debug a rails app from textmate, not a  
regular ruby program. Is there no way to integrate debug into textmate  
for regular ruby programs?

If I had to guess, I would say -s is the part that’s needed for textmate  
integration.

I suspect you could just do this:

rdebug -s ./my-regular-ruby-program.rb
