Debugging error in Rails app running on Webrick server

I am running a Rails app on the webrick server and wanted to get error messages to be displayed to me in the console. I installed the debugger 'gem install debugger' and the installation went off without a glitch but when I restarted the server by typing in rails s --debugger, I got:

You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug'

Therefore I tried installing ruby-debug gem but I got the following error:

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

    /Users/Me/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby extconf.rb

Can't handle 1.9.x yet * extconf.rb failed *

My query is: what is going wrong with the installation? Secondly, what would be the best way for me to get error messages to be displayed to me?

For sure I'm late but just for anyone stuck on this, I had the same problem and fixed it by adding "gem 'debugger'" to the gemfile and running bundle update
