Answer 1

I had this same problem when I upgraded from OSX Mountain Lion to OSX Mavericks. The accepted answer worked for libv8, but not when I went to bundle install therubyracer gem.

Upgrading from ruby-1.8.7-p354 to ruby-1.8.7-375 did the trick for me. libv8 (3.16.14.3-x86_64-darwin-13) and the therubyracer (0.12.0) gems installed without problem.

assuming you use rbenv:

rbenv versions
  system
  * 1.8.7-p354
  2.0.0-rc2

rbenv uninstall 1.8.7-p354
rbenv install 1.8.7-p375

rbenv versions
  system
  * 1.8.7-p375
  2.0.0-rc2

bundle install
