People,

After building the latest nightly version of 1.9, when I try to use:

ruby -rprofile . .

or

ruby -rdebug . .

I get:

:0:in `require’: no such file to load – debug (LoadError)

Is there a configure issue (I couldn’t find anything) or is this a bug?

Thanks,

## Phil.

1.9 lacks profiling and debugging, currently, AFAIK. I know ruby-debug  
doesn’t work on it.

Thanks for the confirmation.

The latest ruby-debug does support 1.9, but it’s incomplete yet.

I take that back.  
[http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum\_id=21389](http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=21389)  
seems to imply that 1.9 is supported for ruby-prof. I haven’t used it  
but it might be.

That’s too bad. I think it’s a very important project.

Is there a location we can get to that?  
🙂

Second that. Lack of ruby-debug is the only reason I don’t use 1.9 as  
of now.

For some reason I can’t get svn trunk to compile. Or for rake to work,  
with 1.9, as of today.  
Any help appreciated 🙂
