Description orgsow 2008-04-30 11:34:22 UTC

I recently upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1

I noticed the place to set it to the native ruby interpretter has been moved.  I have right clicked on my project and 
selected the native platform.  It shows a button there to install the fast debugger, so I clicked this even though I 
knew it was already installed.  The install succeeds but then after hitting close, the "install fast debugger" button 
is still there.

If I try to debug my project, it pops up a dialog asking me to install the fast debugger, if I tell it to go ahead and 
do it again, it succeeds, but after hitting "close" it pops up a dialog saying "Fast debugger installation failed."  
Clicking OK then pops up the dialog to install the debugger again.

I'm not sure why it's behaving this way, it correctly found my interpretter and my gempath.  I changed the project to 
use the native platform and not Jruby.  The gem path looks correct under "Tools->Ruby Platforms."

I see nothing in the ~/.netbeans/var/log/messages file that seems related to this problem and I can't seem to find any 
relevant posts about it online.

Hi. It is known bug, unfortunately revealed after 6.1. It's fixed in trunk and will be available through the 6.1 AU
center with next patch release.

The workaround is easy:

  gem uninstall ruby-debug-base -v 0.10.1

Let me know if it is not your case. Thanks.

Ah yeah this is the same exact problem.  I figured I'd get a response just like this but didn't seem to be able to find 
the other bug reports for the issue through the search feature.

Thank you for the super quick reply and for contributing to the netbeans IDE project!
