Ruby: cannot install libv8 on Windows 7 : missing python installation

Question

my question is too many on Google but I still cannot find the real answer.

First, I run rails server : error missing libv8

I try bundle install and notice that cannot install libv8 library because missing Python.

But I have installed Python before at put it into Path. For example: D:\...:\Python\ : notice that not Python\bin because python doesn't have bin folder.

I have read some tutorial on internet, has tried to install DevKit too, but no result.

Please help me. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Besides the DevKit you need Python to be installed and included in your path. There are several Python installers for windows on the Python Dowload Page.

My first attempt with Python 3.2.3 failed, because it is not supported by libv8. My second attempt with 2.7 succeeded!
