for Dow (GNU/Linux, 2 days ago)

Justin's fix for Ubuntu worked for me to get ruby-debug19 installed, but it caused the postgresql gem (pg) to break. I had to remove rvm_path/usr and re-install ruby etc. to get postresql working again

for andriy ko (GNU/Linux, 13 days ago)

Situation:

$ rvm list

rvm rubies
=> ruby-1.8.7-p357 [ i686 ]
ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ i686 ]

$ rvm use 1.9.2

Using /home/somedir/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290

$ sudo bundle install

ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug19:
linecache19 requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2.

Solution:
step1. $ rvmsudo gem install ruby-debug19

and then (i think it works without step1, main thing is - use rvmsudo instead of sudo )

step2. $ rvmsudo gem install bundler
step3. $ rvmsudo bundle install
step4. $ rails server

for Ray (GNU/Linux, 26 days ago)

The install of linecache19 with rvm and ruby 1.9.2 worked only after following the advice Pavithra posted (also found on the rvm site).

Install open-ssl package first, then install ruby, then install linecache19 using the rvm-source directory.

Works as per Justin's instructions.

Ubuntu 11.10
ruby 1.9.3

for Justin (GNU/Linux, 2 months ago)

This is what worked on Ubuntu:

I had the same problems and tried so many options before I came across this:
http://beginrescueend.com/packages/openssl/

$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm remove 1.9.2m
$ rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

This resolves the issue with linecache19 rubydebug-19 and openssl:

*** extconf.rb failed ***
custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- openssl (LoadError)

then you can do
gem install ruby-debug19

RVM has been installed already in my system. Successfully installed Linecache 0.5.12 by following these commands:

If you have rvm installed system-wide, you can use this:

$ echo $rvm_path/src/$(rvm tools strings)
/usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180

$ rvm @global gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/$(rvm tools strings)

for boddhisattva (GNU/Linux, 11 months ago)

gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180/.
this command did the trick for me. I was facing an issue of ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::GzipFile::Error)
not in gzip format
to deal with this I manually downloaded the gems with the relevant dependencies with the above command. It worked. Thanks @linecache19 for your solution. I had to only change the patch version of Ruby to what I was using.

linecache19 (0.5.11) is Working
for Mike (Mac OSX, about 1 year ago)

1.9.2-p136 + RVM.

Worked when installing via ruby-debug19 which installs linecache19 as a dependency.

gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.2-p136/

linecache19 (0.5.11) is Failing
for Chris S (GNU/Linux, about 1 year ago)

Would not install via capistrano bundle:install with rvm on Ubuntu 10.04 server. Required root privileges to install, if it needs to download the ruby source, it should try to download it to someplace you actually have permission to, /tmp perhaps.

linecache19 is Failing
for Khaled alHabache (GNU/Linux, about 1 year ago)

Doesn't work with Ubuntu 10.10:
Getting:

checking for vm_core.h... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

linecache19 (0.5.11) is Failing
for Darren (GNU/Linux, about 1 year ago)

On Ubuntu, the native compilation step downloads the ruby 1.9.2 source and tries to unpack it into a directory that your current user *probably* does not have write access to.

The workaround, until this bug can be fixed, is to install the linecache19 gem as root. This will cause all sorts of permission problems down the line, so take care to watch what gets created/written to when doing this.
