Cannot install Fast debugger in Netbeans 6.8 for Ruby 1.9

Question

Hi,

I am using Netbeans 6.8 version and Ruby 1.9.1 installed on Windows XP. I tried to install the fast debugger and I am getting the following error.

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-ide: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

D:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe mkrf_conf.rb

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Gem files will remain installed in D:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.9 for inspection.

Results logged to D:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.9/ext/gem_make.out

Have someone else faced this problem before. Please help.

Thanks.
