Ruby visual debugger run from linux terminal

Question

Is there a ruby visual debugger that i can run from the linux terminal? And if so, how do i run it?

visual? command line? I don't think those two keywords go well together. Are you looking for a command line debugger or some kind of integrated environment with a graphical interface (IDE)? Maybe you just need IRB, you need to be a bit more specific. — Niklas B.

i can run applications from the command line, like with perl i can run "perl -dptkdb somescript.pl", from the terminal and then i get ptkdb.sourceforge.net/images/ptkdb-win-example1.png — john-jones

There are several graphical debuggers available for Ruby, e.g Mr. Guid, rudebug or the RubyMine IDE, the latter of which does not seem to quite fit your use case. ruby -r debug [script] runs on the command line but is also quite usable.
