I am running into the following issue: how to install debugger for ruby

C:\windows\system32>ruby -v
ruby   (2013-06-27) [i386-mingw32]

C:\windows\system32>gem install ruby-debug-base
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...

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

C:/Ruby200/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
Can't handle 1.9.x yet
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary   
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
    --with-opt-dir
    --without-opt-dir
    --with-opt-include
    --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
    --with-opt-lib
    --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
    --with-make-prog
    --without-make-prog
    --srcdir=.
    --curdir
    --ruby=C:/Ruby200/bin/ruby


Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/linecache
-0.46 for inspection.
