Any help would be extremely appreciated, I have been searching but cannot find a working solution.

From the below link:

https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger/issues/50

I have installed gem ruby-debug19 and problem solved for me as below:

$ bundle
... -> failed to build debugger-linecache
$ gem install ruby-debug19
$ bundle
... -> all is fine

Your Gemfile.lock wasn't written with the same Ruby that you're trying to bundle against.

bundle update should work by making Bundler look at different versions.

If you are using rvm, then make sure the path lead to ruby, in rvm its rubies folder

$rvm_path/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p448

gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2'  -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p448

I installed debugger-ruby_core_source gem, based on perusing old answers here: https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger/issues/12

This error means that the selected version of debugger does not support your current Ruby version. There are two solutions:

  1. Update the debugger gem via bundle update debugger. New versions of debugger are backward-compatible with old Ruby versions, so this is the best way to fix it.
  2. Downgrade your Ruby version.

In my case problem was not related to debugger-linecache directly. Either try upgrading debugger-ruby_core_source or downgrade Ruby by few patchlevels.

I've executed bundle update debugger-linecache. Although I had its newest version in Gemfile.lock, debugger-ruby_core_source has been upgraded to 1.1.5 and debugger-linecache has stopped complaining.

The problem was that I was using gemsets incorrectly. I knew not having permissions were an issue, as under RVM I shouldn't need sudo to install anything.

rvm gemset use global and then a bundle install did the trick.
