I'm having the same issues and can't get the debugger to work. What's really frustrating (besides just spending hours on this and it's still not working) is that it worked earlier today, until I had to stop the debugger and it rescanned and found missing gems. Now I have to start all over trying to get debugger to work. You really really need to fix this! Here are the contents of my ruby-debug-base19x gem:

I have tried all the steps indicated so far to no avail (though somehow, in the past, I was able to get it to work). Now, no such luck with both RubyMine 4.0.3 and RubyMine 4.5
I feel like crying - all I want to do is code - not spend HOURS trying to get debugger to work...
Here's the rest of my data, if it will help....
gem list | grep debug
ruby-debug-base19x (0.11.30.pre10)
ruby-debug-ide (0.4.17.beta14)
At one point it looked like this but it didn't seem to make a difference:
gem list | grep debug

ruby-debug-ide (0.4.17.beta14, 0.4.17.beta9)

Everytime I try to start debugger, I get the following message: "Error running Development: [sitename]: Cannot start debugger. Gem 'ruby-debug-ide' isn't installed or its executable script 'rdebug-ide' doesn't exist.
When I'm prompted to install missing gem files in RubyMine, I do and get the same error again: "Error running Development: [sitename]: Cannot start debugger. Gem 'ruby-debug-ide' isn't installed or its executable script 'rdebug-ide' doesn't exist as well as the RubyMine Gem Manager RubyMine has detected that some of the gems required for [sitename] are not installed and I'm given the link to Install missing gems (which will produce the same error).
When I look here, I see that the gems are there:

I used this to install linecache:
curl -OL http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75414/linecache19-0.5.13.gem
gem install linecache19-0.5.13.gem
I have tried to close and restart RubyMine multiple times.
After 6 hours of this, can you help please. What else can I try?

UPDATE July 30, 2012
OK - many hours later, it turned out that restarting RubyMine wasn't enough but restarting my computer seemed to fix this.
