I use a shared server, so, i dont have sudo access to my user.
I am using this at a Rails app.
I tried this:
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer
.
gem install libv8
gem install therubyracer
I tried to install an especific version, and edit the Gemfile, but neither works.

I am using this at a Rails app
Then in your Gemfile add the line:
gem 'therubyracer'
Then do:
$ bundle install
Then Bundler will handle installing the dependencies.
When I try to install the gem therubyracer i get this error:
I don't get that error. Throw your computer away and get my computer along with the software I have installed.

Try this:

Try with or without sudo.
If it is a Ruby on Rails app, include the line:
gem 'therubyracer', :platform=>:ruby
inside Gemfile.

I tried many solutions proposed on previous topics but none seems to work for my versions or I must be misunderstanding something.
Any ideas ?

feedzirra windows latest curb version issue

I am trying to install feedzirra but I am running into trouble.
When I install Feedzirra, it looks for curb (0.7.18).
I followed the instructions to install curb on windows

An error occurred while installing curb (0.7.18), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install curb -v '0.7.18'` succeeds before bundling.
How do I force feedzirra to use the latest version of curb? or How to install curb (0.7.18) version only?
Try to add -v 0.7.18 after gem install curb:
>gem install curb -v 0.7.18 -- --with-curl-lib=C:/curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32/bin --with-curl-include=C:/curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32/include
The latest Feedzirra has a curb ~> 0.7.15 as a dependency, so curb-0.8.4 won't be suitable - here is an explanation referring to the bundler site.
Also if you're using something like RVM (if I remember correctly there's a nearly similar utility for windows called pik) then ensure that you're installing gems to the gemset used by your application.

Ruby Debugger installation Error

how to install thre debugger..???
You have to first set the path of DevKit in your environmental variable
Then run
gem install linecache19
gem install ruby-debug-base19
gem install ruby-debug-ide
through command prompt
May this work
From the RVM website:
If you have trouble installing ruby-debug19 try installing with the following command:
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --patch debug --force-autoconf
$ gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include="${MY_RUBY_HOME/rubies/src}"
"On Ubuntu, the native compilation step downloads the ruby 1.9.2 source and tries to unpack it into a directory that your current user probably does not have write access to." - Darren (Reference: http://isitruby19.com/linecache19)
In this case, try sudo bundle install.
If the problem is that it cannot resolve the vm_core.h file dependency, you can run the installs with specific versions and the path to the ruby source:
sudo -E gem install linecache19 -v=0.5.11 -- --with-ruby-include=path_to/ruby-1.9.1-p378/
sudo -E gem install ruby-debug-base19 -v=0.11.23 -- --with-ruby-include=path_to/ruby-1.9.1-p378/
sudo -E gem install ruby-debug-ide -v=0.4.9 -- --with-ruby-include=path_to/ruby-1.9.1-p378/
Reference: http://isitruby19.com/linecache19
Note, replace path_to/ruby-1.9.1-p378/, with the path to where you installed ruby.
To find out where you installed ruby, try running:
which ruby

Error installing geoip_city gem

I keep getting an error when trying to install the geoip_city gem. I've already installed the GeoIP C library to /opt/GeoIP, but the gem doesn't seem to pick it up. I've tried:
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-lib=/opt/GeoIP/lib
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP --with-geoip-lib=/opt/GeoIP/lib
all of which output this error:

cantorrodista was on the right track, though. I had to run the command like this:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP
I think you have to pass the ARCHFLAGS parameter to indicate that is going to be built for a 64 bit arquitecture:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP
