therubyracer install error

问题:

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

回答1:

You can use the Libv8 from the brew instead of the one from gem. You can do that by following commands:

$ gem uninstall libv8
$ brew install v8
$ gem install therubyracer

回答2:

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
   

回答3:

For Linux:

The code below is of course correct

$ gem uninstall libv8

$ gem install therubyracer

But sometimes it does't help because you haven't program make. AT FIRST you need install make. To do this, run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

And only after that:

gem install therubyracer

回答4:

On Mavericks, you just need to update to therubyracer 0.12.0

回答5:

The solution that worked for me was putting these steps together on 10.7.4

export CC=gcc-4.2

sudo ln /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

gem uninstall libv8
gem install therubyracer

回答6:

Mac 10.10.5, Ruby 2.1.0 this worked for me:

gem uninstall libv8
gem uninstall therubyracer

brew upgrade gcc
brew install v8

bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-cxx=/usr/local/bin/gcc-6
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.17' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/v8-315

bundle install # worked !

回答7:

I've had the exact same issue just till now.

This link saved me.

to sum up, you need to do this:

$ gem uninstall libv8
$ gem install therubyracer

before i fixed this issue, i had v8 installed in my mac. i don't know if this helped, since it seems have sth to do with js interpreter, I thought it might help.

回答8:

On Mountain Lion 10.8, it doesn't come preinstalled with a C compiler. You'll need to download and install the 'command line tools' package from Apple themselves, and then run which gcc to confirm it is installed. Everything should run fine from there on in.

回答9:

On OS X 10.7 I actually found that the "Command Line Tools" package wasn't enough, I had to install the full-blown XCode package, then gem install worked.

回答10:

I had this same problem when I upgraded from OSX Mountain Lion to OSX Mavericks.

Upgrading from ruby-1.8.7-p354 to ruby-1.8.7-375 did the trick for me. If you are on ruby-1.93-p125, you may want to try upgrading to 1.9.3-rc1 (which is above p484 already)

libv8 (3.16.14.3-x86_64-darwin-13) and the therubyracer (0.12.0) gems installed without problem.

assuming you use rbenv:

rbenv install 1.9.3-rc1
rbenv rehash
rbenv shell 1.9.3-rc1
bundle install

According to https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/420#issuecomment-253592865

gem uninstall therubyracer
gem uninstall libv8
brew uninstall v8
brew install v8
gem install libv8
gem install therubyracer

It helped me. Parameters: ruby 2.3.3, rails 4.2.9
