An error occurred while installing debugger (1.6.6)

When I run bundle install I get an error when it comes to installing the debugger gem (1.6.6). I'm using ruby 2.1.1 and rails 4.0.4. I'm relatively new to rails and am not sure what could be causing this problem.

Gemfile

Error

Make sure that `gem install debugger -v '1.6.6'` succeeds before bundling.

first, u can install like this: gem install debugger -v '1.6.8',it will ok this time. and than, bundle install will not block by gem of debugger. I don't know why it works, but it does works for me, by the way, bundle will install 2 version of debugger gems. my env is ruby 1.9.3

EDIT:

Debugger is not fully supported for Ruby 2.x.x.

Issue#118 is popular issue which addresses the same. Though it mentions that debugger 1.6.6 must be supported by Ruby 2.1.1, the users are still encountering the similar errors as you are.

Also, this is especially mentioned in their known issues.

You can try to follow that discussion to troubleshoot your problem.
Additionally, this may help:

rm Gemfile.lock
gem install debugger-ruby_core_source
gem update
bundle install

The other solution in issue discusses the possibility of updating Ruby binary.

If nothing works, and if you can possibly change the ruby/rails versions, I can suggest my current combination:

ruby 2.0.0-p195
rails 4.0.0

They work perfectly fine with debugger gem.
