therubyracer - Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Question

I\'m trying to install the following gem versions on Mavericks

• libv8 (3.16.14.3)
• therubyracer (0.12.1)

Obviously therubyracer gems depe

Answer 1

I found a workaround to the above problem.

This is more of a compatibility among libv8 and therubyracer.

gem install libv8 -v '3.3.10.4' -- --with-system-v8

gem install therubyracer -v '0.10.2'

This should work fine as both the versions are compatible with me. Initially I was trying to install the version 0.12.0 for therubyracer and was facing the issue. Once I switched to version 0.10.2, everything worked fine.

My current OS: Mavericks
