Could not install therubyracer on Raspberry Pi

[BennyLi]

Hello, i am trying to setup OpenProject 3.0 on a Raspberry Pi Model B. But currently i'm stuck at therubyracer gem. Here is what i have done so far:

I installed RVM, Ruby 2.1.0 and bundler. Then i tried to bundle install gems for OpenProject 3.0 beta which runs on Rails 3.2. Setup instructions

Inside of the Gemfile of OpenProject 3.0 there is also therubyracer dependency. But here i run into trouble.

First of all libv8 doesn't compile (the known ia32 error). I managed this by installing libv8 system library (libv8-3.8.9.20_3.8.9.20-2_armhf.deb) and header (libv8-dev_3.8.9.20-2_armhf.deb, see debian ftp: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libv8/) and then compile libv8 gem by myself with gem install libv8 -v '3.11.8.17' -- --with-system-v8

But therubyracer gem won't install... Here is the error output:

   /home/pi/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/bin/ruby extconf.rb

checking for v8.h... yes

Gem files will remain installed in /home/pi/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/therubyracer-0.11.4 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/pi/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/extensions/armv6l-linux/2.1.0/therubyracer-0.11.4/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing therubyracer (0.11.4), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install therubyracer -v '0.11.4'` succeeds before bundling.

I've red about the problem of getting therubyracer to work on the Rasperry Pi. But i did not found a solution yet. I even tried to compiile the sources from github (v.0.12.1). That doesn't work either.

So i like to help (and to get it running for me). What can i do? Or do you have a solution for this already?

Best regards, Ben

I've faced this same issue. Your best bet is to downgrade the version of the rubyracer that you're using for your project. v0.11.0 worked for us.

im having the same issue... how did you got it to work? I even try with 0.11.0 gem install therubyracer -v 0.11.0 no luck! :( I want to run my rails app on my rasbperry pi.

You should try -v 0.12
