So I have this issue where libv8-3.16.14.3 fails to install, even though it deceptively tells you it did install.
So the first sign of issue was when it did:
An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3'` succeeds before bundling.
During a bundle install. So I did some googling and came across this response which when run:
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3' -- --with-system-v8
Building native extensions with: '--with-system-v8'
This could take a while...
Successfully installed libv8-3.16.14.3
Parsing documentation for libv8-3.16.14.3
Done installing documentation for libv8 after 1 seconds
1 gem installed
Leads you to thinking it worked. but run bundle install again and see the error in question which is:
An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3'` succeeds before bundling.
The entire trace log can be seen below (caused by running bundle install):
