failure to install on ubuntu, ruby 1.9.3-p362

[semmons99]

Howdy, trying to install on ubuntu, Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64), using Ruby 1.9.3-p362.

When I execute gem install therubyracer I get the following compilation failure:

$ gem install therubyracer

@semmons99 Looks like your Ubuntu issue is problem/error as the simultaneously filed OSX issue for 1.9.3-p362, #232

[semmons99]

I receive the same error on ubuntu using both 1.9.3-p0 or 1.9.3-p362. I get a similar, but different error, when attempting to install v0.11.1. Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide.

[ignisf]

therubyracer 0.11.1 and 0.11.2 require libv8 3.11.8.13. From what I can see from the logs, you have 3.15.11.1 installed, hence the deprecation warnings.

[geoffharcourt]

@ignisf, looks like the curent Gemspec says -~> 3.15.11.0.

[ignisf]

@geoffharcourt, the gemspec of the development version of therubyracer (the master branch here) does indeed say that (as @cowboyd is working towards compatibility with the new version of v8), however the one in the 0.11.2 version says gem.add_dependency 'libv8', '~> 3.11.8.12'.

[cowboyd]

As @ignisf and @geoffharcourt pointed out, there is a bug in the extconf.rb which potentially brings in the wrong version of libv8.

As of now, all 3.15.8.x libv8 gems have been yanked, and so it should not be possible to trigger this bug unless you have a local copy, mirrored copy or cached proxy of the offending gem.

Please make sure that you do not have a stale version of 3.15.8.x anywhere between you and rubygems.org.

[geoffharcourt]

I removed the yanked libv8 gem version, and the extension compiled successfully. Thanks for your advice!

[semmons99]

Removing the yanked versions helped me as well. Thanks!
