gem - Installing linecache19 for Ruby 1.9.2 via rvm

Question

I am having a problem with installing linecache19(dependency of ruby-debug19) for ruby 1.9.2

Here is my term output

$ rvm use 1.9.2
Using /home/bogdan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]
$ rvm exec gem install linecache19 --backtrace
gem install linecache19 --backtrace

rvm 1.6.20 by Wayne E. Seguin (wayneeseguin@gmail.com) [https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

ERROR:  Error installing linecache19:
    linecache19 requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2.
ERROR:  Error installing linecache19:
    linecache19 requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2.
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

The last command hangs forever until interrupted with ^C.

Any ideas how to fix that?

You may be having the same problem as I was. When I ran bundle install I got the error:

Installing linecache19 (0.5.12) with native extensions
/Users/joseph/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:552:in `rescue in block in build_extensions':
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

/Users/joseph/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby extconf.rb 

From http://isitruby19.com/linecache19 I found that this worked:

gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290
