Answer 1

This worked fine for me:

Try installing this pre-compiled gem:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7919548/gems/libv8/libv8-3.11.8.17-x86_64-darwin-13.gem (sha1:5ce07aaf4085fff5a5e10fe018fd6b22021bef3b)

Or if you prefer to build your own:

  git clone https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8.git
  cd libv8
  git checkout 3.11
  bundle install
  bundle exec rake clean build binary
  gem install pkg/libv8-3.11.8.17-x86_64-darwin-13.gem
