configure: error: could not determine libv8 version

I'm trying to compile php-v8js itself but I get this error: configure: error: could not determine libv8 version

This is the log from ./configure:

could you please provide the contents of the config.log file, it should contain the exact compiler error thrown

config.log.txt

... from the log

./conftest: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libv8.so: undefined symbol: _ZTVN6icu_5613UnicodeStringE

... so V8 library is either not compiled or not installed well.

How did you compile V8 and where did you install it to? Did you compile against V8's libicu and not install it?

V8's build compiles example & debug commands, d8, lineprocessor et al. Do those work?

[stesie]

a shot in the dark: you compiled V8 against its internal libicu, installed both off /usr/lib and the runpath in libv8.so is configured wrong.

try

$ chrpath -r '$ORIGIN' /path/to/libv8.so
