I didn't make any changes ... I just followed the README file.

It seems that there is a problem with the procedure tcp-client-peer-
socket-info on Linux. In the remote debugging code this is only used
for synchronization (to make sure the xterm has started before sending
it stuff to display).

Here's how to fix debugger.scm:

1) remove the call (tcp-client-peer-socket-info port)

2) before the first (let loop () ... insert (thread-sleep! 2)

Indeed this problem only happens on Linux. A patch which fixes this problem has been committed to the repository. You should be able to run the original code on Linux now.
