An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.7), and Bundler cannot continue

Question

I'm getting a cyclic error here:

Bundler::GemspecError: Could not read gem at /path/to/website/vendor/cache/ruby/2.1.0/cache/libv8-3.16.14.7-x86_64-darwin-14.gem. It may be corrupted.
An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7'` succeeds before bundling.

$ gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7'

Any suggestions?

==== UPDATE

I tried deleting all cache data with rm -rf ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/cache/ and now bundle install --path vendor/cache gives me:

Bundler::GemspecError: Could not read gem at /path/to/website/vendor/cache/ruby/2.1.0/cache/libv8-3.16.14.7-x86_64-darwin-14.gem. It may be corrupted.

Answer 1

For MacOS Catalina and Big Sur:

brew install [email protected]
bundle config build.libv8 --with-system-v8
bundle config build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])
bundle

(update version numbers as needed)

Answer 2

Facing the same issue, install gem with system preferences worked for me

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7' -- --with-system-v8

Answer 3

Usually the solution for this is updating libv8 to the latest version:

bundle update libv8
