@onipirate, @kaesy ok, can you please try to install debase_ruby-core-source gem, then try one more time to install ruby-debug-ide

[onipirate]

issue resolved

when I used ridk install for the msys2 devkit

I only installed the base installation

so you must install the 3rd option

Install MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain succeeded

1 - MSYS2 base installation 2 - MSYS2 system update 3 - MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain

Afterwards, installing the gems are now successful
