Answer 1

I've got this issue for MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 and I was able to fix this issue when I found where package v8-315 was installed and what the folder name was. In my case, it was here /usr/local/opt/v8@3.15.

To fix this, I've run next:

brew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.15' -- --with-system-v
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.2' -- --with-system-v8 --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/v8@3.15
bundle install
