Windows Komodo With Ubuntu Remote Debugging

I have Komodo 5.2 running on XP and Ruby on Ubuntu. I want to set-up remote debugging.

The Ruby debugging help page says to go to the Komodo Remote Debugging Page ( http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/Komodo/RemoteDebugging )and install the sofwate appropriate for my applicaiton. I don't see Ruby anywhere.

Is it possible to remotely debug Ruby on Ubuntu while using Komodo on Windows?

Thanks,
Adam

Yes, it's possible.

I don't know why there's no kit for debugging Ruby remotely --
I've added a bug to create one (http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=85056)

Remote Ruby debugging is documented in Komodo Help:

"...Install the Ruby debugger application and associated files on the remote machine. All of these files are included in /lib/support/dbgp/rubylib beneath the Komodo installation directory (/Contents/SharedSupport/dbgp/rubylib on ac OS X)."

You'll probably need to [gem install] ruby-debug-base on the remote system
as well.

Hope this helps,
Eric
