Can't build against ruby-1.9.3-p448

[anthonygreen]

I'm unable to gem install debugger against ruby-1.9.3-p448 The issue also appears to effect RVM: http://www.whereisjoel.com/post/54208272670/protip-installing-ruby-debugger-with-rvm unfortunately their solution didn't work for rbenv

To perhaps clarify, this happens with the latest debugger in Gemfile and Ruby 1.9.3-p448 installed via rbenv.

The output of bundle install looks like this:

Installing database_cleaner (0.7.2) 
Installing debugger-ruby_core_source (1.1.7) 
Installing debugger-linecache (1.1.2) 
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I just released 1.6.1 which will automatically pull in support for 1.9.3-p448

Now works. Thanks

Not working for me on 1.9.3-p448 / rvm / Mavericks, neither for 1.6.1 nor 1.6.2.

I've got pretty much the same error message:
