How to install therubyracer gem on 10.10 Yosemite?

Question

I don\'t manage to install therubyracer gem on Yosemite 10.10.

Here is the log:

I had the same issue on Yosemite. My solution is similar to what appears above.

Use gem uninstall libv8 to remove anything that might be installed.

Leave therubyracer in your Gemfile, but remove any explicit reference to libv8.

Run bundle install.

libv8 then installed fine as a dependency.
