Installing TheRubyRacer gem on fedora 20 Error

Question

I am working on a project, that needs therubyracer. When I do a bundle install I get the following error message when the bundler tries to install therubyracer.

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /home/anupam/.gem/ruby/gems/therubyracer-0.12.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/anupam/.gem/ruby/gems/therubyracer-0.12.1/ext/v8/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing therubyracer (0.12.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.1'` succeeds before bundling.

When I run gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.1' or without the version, it still fails.

I am new to ruby so I don't really understand what is going on or why it is failing.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Answer 1

我在Fedora 24 x64上遇到了同样的问题，而sudo dnf -y install gcc-c++解决了我的问题

Answer 2

I removed all gems.

Uninstalled ruby

Reinstalled ruby ruby-devel

Installed ruby and ruby-devel and install therubyracer and libv8 using yum NOT gem.

Then I ran bundle install and gem used the already installed gems that yum installed.

Thank god for fedora maintainers! You guys are awesome

Answer 3

I know it sounds dumb but I had the exact problem and it seems I lacked the package gcc-c++. Thought already had them. yum install gcc-c++ did the trick
