OK, I’m at the end of my tether with this. There are a few similar questions but they all refer to therubyracer 0.10, and they mostly conclude that the problem can be fixed by upgrading to 0.12.
I’m having similar problems, but when I use 0.12.

- Installing libv8 gem on Mavericks
- How to fix libv8 error from Gemfile on Mavericks?
I’m having problems using ‘standard’ (xcode?) gcc, and both apple-gcc42 and gcc from homebrew. I’ve tried both --with-system-v8 and --without-system-v8, and again, no dice.
Here’s some logs:

Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3'` succeeds before bundling.
Worse times!
OK. So to fix the issues with therubyracer 0.10, some people recommend brew installing v8, then telling rubygems to use system v8. Let’s see what happens!
