Error installing libv8: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Question

I made a rails project with,

rails new test_bootstrap.

succeeded.

moved to the project dir and added the gems

gem \         


        

Answer 1

i feel this has less to do with libv8 and more to do with therubyracer.

i received your same error while running a bundle install on a rails app. if you have encountered this similarly, try installing the gem outside of bundle like so:

gem install therubyracer

then run bundle install. i hope this works for you too.
