Ruby-Debug19 with Ruby Head

Just in case you didn’t know by now, true to my name, I use HEAD version of Ruby. That’s 1.9.2dev at this time, and I already made a post on how I compile it from the source here.

Ruby-Debug is one of my indispensable tool. I’d be lost without it along with all the testing framework. You see, I really don’t know how to develop without testing and debugging. I’m a devoted Catholic so my faith is unshakeable, but that’s the religion, not the code.

I was going to give up on the latest Ruby because I had a bitch of time trying to install it. Well, it turns out that I was making a stupid mistake and although I feel embarrassed to admit, I’ll post the instruction here.
