Gem files will remain installed in /path/gems/debugger-linecache-1.1.2 for inspection.
Results logged to /path/gems/debugger-linecache-1.1.2/ext/trace_nums/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing debugger-linecache (1.1.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2'` succeeds before bundling.
How can we fix this?
gem install debugger-linecache -v '1.1.2' -- --with-ruby-include=\$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.3-p374
And that's all!

This was extremely well timed for me! I just finished installing rvm which installs the latest ruby and got this same issue.
Thank you so much for posting.

For RBENV
–with-ruby-include=$HOME/.rbenv/sources/2.0.0-p353/ruby-2.0.0-p353
If you don’t have sources, install with ‘–keep’ option
rbenv install –keep 2.0.0-p353
