I've seen #111 and it does not work.

I installed also 'libv8' throught rubygems

    gem install libv8

and that's work:

   irb> require 'libv8'
   => true

but therubyracer does not work.

[rudedoc]

I've been having the same issues trying to install on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS.

gem install therubyracer --pre

Installs to REE 1.8.7 fine but wont install to 1.9.2 or 1.9.3.

Tried:

gem uninstall libv8
gem install libv8 --pre 
gem install therubyracer --pre

Result:

Same issue while trying to use twitter-bootstrap-rails. I've punted on the gem for now in favor of sass-rails, but I'd love to see a resolution to this, as it's the worst gem dependency error I've run into using Rails. Dev env = Mac OSX 10.7.3.

[imxxb]

+1, my env is Mac OSX 10.5.8 and g++4.2

[dmilith]

Very simliar issue to mine: #156
I have libv8 installed too.

Fedora 17, same issue as @rudedoc ...

[krimsonkla]

Was anyone ever able to resolve this?

[rudedoc]

I was originally having problems getting Twitter Bootstrap to compile
assets for a Rails App but after I rebuilt my machine following Ryan Bate's
recipe (http://railscasts.com/episodes/335-deploying-to-a-vps?autoplay=true)
everything worked fine.

I think I got it. In the file rr.h, you first must include v8.h and then ruby.h. Otherwise, the macro StringValue from ruby.h overwrites the StringValue() call in v8.h, so that the preprocessed code looks like this:

Local rb_string_value(&()) const;

which is obviously a syntax error.
I will submit a patch for this (really simple, just swap the two lines).

[bkabrda]

Also, it seems that installation fails when you install libv8 and therubyracer separately. e.g. running 'gem install therubyracer' is ok, but 'gem install libv8 && gem install therubyracer' fails:

extconf.rb:15:in <main>': undefined methodinclude_path' for Libv8:Module (NoMethodError)
I will open a separate issue for this.

[cowboyd]

This is a libv8 issue.
