I am frustrated because I have tried other StackOverflow articles on this issue, but have been unsuccessful in fixing my own error. When I call
'gem install linecache19'
...the following error is outputed
ERROR: Error installing linecache19:

/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/ruby_core_source-0.1.5/lib/contrib/uri_ext.rb:268:in `block (2 levels) in read': Looking for http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz and all I got was a 404! (URI::NotFoundError)
Obviously this does not work...the url http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz doesn't make sense. (Accesses Ruby1.9 then looks for the Ruby2.0 tar.gz)
This is for a class project (for CS169: Software Engineering at UC Berkeley) that requires the gem 'ruby-debug19', which tries to install 'linecache19'.
Do I have to downgrade to ruby1.9, or can I keep using ruby2.0?
When I call
$ruby -v
I get the following...
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux]
I am using RVM.
I am slightly suspicious that linecache19 does not support ruby 2.0.
