therubyracer install error

Question

As you can see below, libv8 installs fine, but therubyracer doesn\'t. I\'m using Mac 10.7.4.

~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/1.9.1> gem install lib         


        

Answer 1

For an older project I had to used the 0.10.1 version of rubyracer on mavericks (bootstrap depends on it)

So I had to use an older version of gcc

1. edit your .zshrc or .bashrc

   export CC=/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/gcc-4.2
   export CXX=/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/g++-4.2
   export CPP=/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/cpp-4.2
   

2. be sure that you have uninstalled all older versions of libv8

   gem uninstall libv8
   

3. install your version of therubyracer

   gem install therubyracer -v=0.10.1
