ruby-debug with Ruby 1.9.3?

Question

I just updated to Ruby 1.9.3p0 and Rails 3.1.1. Now when I try to launch the server, it complains that I should install ruby-debug, even though it's already installed.

% rails server --environment=development --debug
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.1.0 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug'
Exiting

In my Gemfile I have

# see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1083451/debugging-in-ruby-1-9
gem 'ruby-debug-base19', "0.11.24"
gem 'ruby-debug19', "0.11.6"

Is it possible to run debug with the latest version of Ruby?

Try the new debugger gem as a replacement for ruby-debug.
