bundle install does not complete execution. It gets stuck in the middle

Question

When I ran bundle install, it gets stuck towards the end.

Here's my bundle console output

 !  ~/r/mangoweb   master  bundle install                                                                           Sun Jul 27 12:45:28 IST 2014

I let it run for more than 30 minutes, but it still didn't get out of the loop. When I forced killed this process, I got an error saying that libv8 is not installed. I tried running this manually, but that didn't work either.

SystemExit: exit
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.

I assumed that my settings are corrupt, and did rvm implode and tried setting up everything from scratch, but I was stuck with the same issue. I also ran a gem update --system just to check if everything upto date. Even that didn't help.

Here are some details,

Bundle version : 1.6.` Ruby ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [x86_64-darwin12.5.0]

Not sure what is the issue. Am I missing something here?

Edit 2

I finally found the problem. My system updated to the latest version of Mavericks 10.9.4. There is some issue with a mac update and libv8 gem, that I don't fully understand, but I guess it has something to do with the old ruby setup. So, did an rvm implode and then installed it from scratch, and also reinstalled ruby. After that everything worked like a charm. If anyone is facing the same issue take a look at this thread https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/120. This might help shed some light to this issue.

Answer 1

libv8 is a C-binded lib, it's not a RVM issue, it's almost certainly a dependency issue in your system. Try googling for "install libv8 under macos" or try one of the alternative JS interpreters as explained on https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs (you should actually have this link in Gemfile by default)
