Unable To Install libv8/therubyracer on M1 Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) about libv8

[joedarc]

I was able to get this installed on my M1 MacBook Pro using arch -x86_64. I followed some steps on this blog to get two homebrews set-up. Once I had the alias of ibrew using the x86 arch, I was able to install the gem by doing the following:

ibrew tap homebrew/versions
ibrew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Should just need to put your version in instead. Hope this helps.

[stanneeru]

try out below.. did work for me

brew install [email protected]
bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-system-v8
bundle config --local build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
bundle install

I have tried this out already and it didn't work on Apple SIlicon Laptop. I have also mentioned this in the logs already in the issue description.

[tiagogeraldi]

This is a simplified solution for M1 macs

[dojutsu-user]

This issue is still unsolved.

I am able to install theruby racer using @joedarc's instructions but I get the following when I start my server:

Same here.
I was able to install libv8 using the intel compatible brew version and therubyracer.
I'm using rbenv

But as soon as I start the server, i get the same dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found:... error message

[professor]

I've noticed that homebrew on M1 will install in /opt/homebrew, not /usr/local. I see that several of these solutions rely on brew placing v8 in /usr/local which makes me think that the solutions are not for M1.

Also brew install [email protected] fails on M1 BigSur for me. Error: [email protected]: no bottle available!

[ZASMan]

2022 and I still can't get therubyracer installed on the latest Mac either.

[amitk]

My operating system is Monterey and these are the steps worked for me

$ ibrew tap homebrew/core
$ ibrew install [email protected]
$ bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-system-v8
$ bundle config --local build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

ibrew here refers to solutions suggested by @joedarc here.
Thanks.

Unfortunately it did not work at M1 BigSur. But this solution works for intel platform and Catalina v10.15.7

[artoodeeto]

after bundle install. running the server bin/rails s I get an error:

anyone has the same problem? I'm using M1.

[artoodeeto]

@lloeki thank you for responding. I've decided to return the laptop no use fixing an unfixable problem. thank you. appreciate the reply.

[monfresh]

After seeing so many people struggle with therubyracer on Apple Silicon Macs, I wrote this detailed guide that explains the history behind therubyracer, why you probably don't even need it anymore, and how to replace it with better options:

https://www.rubyonmac.dev/how-to-install-therubyracer-on-m1-m2-apple-silicon-mac

[Nowaker]

Here's my catch-all solution to this fiasco in Gemfile. Hope it helps someone:

# M1 Macs must use mini_racer. therubyracer is broken: https://github.com/rubyjs/libv8/issues/312
# Intel Macs may use either - but therubyracer requires `brew install [email protected]` and `bundle config build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix)/opt/[email protected]`, while mini_racer works out of the box.
# New Linuxes may use either.
# Old Linuxes must use therubyracer, as mini_racer requires GCC 8+.
is_mac = RUBY_PLATFORM.include?('darwin')
gem 'mini_racer', install_if: is_mac
gem 'therubyracer', install_if: !is_mac
gem 'libv8-node', '16.10.0.0'

Please note that if you use Rails 4.x and, by definition, Bundler 1.x, you'll experience problems with musl version of libv8-node being forced by Bundler, which then causes an error, because one doesn't exist. You'll need to gem install the correct stuff first, so Bundler doesn't attempt to install the incorrect thing. In local dev:

for lib in libv8-node mini_racer; do grep -Po "(?<=$lib\', ).*" Gemfile | tr -d "'" | xargs gem install $lib -v; done

And when you deploy with Capistrano to Linux, you'll need to do the equivalent on the server before every deploy:

  desc 'Install libv8-node and mini_racer before bundle install'
  task :pre_bundler_install do
    on roles(:all) do
      execute <<~EOF
        export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"
        export GEM_PATH=""
        export GEM_HOME="#{shared_path}/bundle/ruby/#{rbenv_ruby_version_major}"
        cd #{release_path}
        for lib in libv8-node mini_racer; do
          VERSION=$(grep -Po "(?<=$lib\', \').*" Gemfile | tr -d "'")
          REQUEST_VERSION=${VERSION:+-v $VERSION}
          rbenv exec gem install --conservative "$lib" $REQUEST_VERSION
        done
      EOF
    end
  end

Please note this is a knowledge dump from me. Use this information as you please, but I won't be answering questions or debugging your situation.

[gilthoniel02]

None of these suggestions work with Apple M1 Pro, Monterrey 12.4. ☹️

[lloeki]

You might be interested in libv8-node which has such binaries.

@TorvaldsDB, You can once try Rosette Terminal for your whole development setup. follow here It has saved me a lot of hours of being stuck at various issues.

Thanks @amitk-vmware I'm not sure whether it works, but it looks too hacker. I have to use the terminal instead of the iTerm2 or original terminal. Maybe I will have a try it finally, but I wish there were a better way to fix it.

[neoswf]

Thank you @joedarc!!!! You saved me tons of time. Thank you!!!!!

A. I'm using macOS Monterey version 12.5 (maybe the macOS latest version). And all 5 below solutions didn't work for me. Any other suggestion?

1. Install [email protected] by Homebrew. And then config therubyracer with [email protected]:

brew install [email protected]
bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-system-v8
bundle config --local build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
bundle install

2. Use multiple homebrew with this url: https://soffes.blog/homebrew-on-apple-silicon . And then use ibrew instead of brew to fix the issue.

ibrew tap homebrew/versions
ibrew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Notes:

ibrew tap homebrew/versions

is deprecated. And you could search v8 by this command:

ibrew search v8

3. Use gem mini_racer as an alternative way to replace therubyracer. I'm not sure by changing to another gem will generate other issues or not. However, install mini_racer didn't work with my current macOS although I tried with multiple versions of mini_racer gem.
4. Use duplicate terminal, Rosetta. It didn't work for me.
5. Use clang++ and brew to install therubyracer. And it didn't work as well.

$ clang++ -v
// install intel v8:
$ arch -x86_64 brew install [email protected]
// Build libv8 with the v8 engine that you just installed via brew:
$ gem install libv8 -v "3.16.14.19" -- --with-system-v8
// Provide a compatible C++ compiler and specify path to the v8 directory you just brew installed:
$ CXX=clang++ gem install therubyracer -v "0.12.3" -- --with-v8-dir=$(arch -x86_64 brew --prefix [email protected])

B. Here is my Mac information:

macOS Monterey version 12.5

too long to read. Hopefully there's an easy way

I tried all suggested solution in this post but no one worked for me.

I'm using the latest macOS version: Monterey 12.5 and Apple M1 Pro chip.

I successfully installed libv8/therubyracer on M1 Macbook Pro today at work.

TL/DR

• you did not export compiler flags like brew told you after you installed v8
• you are mixing and matching arm and x86_64 architecture. Compile everything (brew, ruby..) using rosetta terminal.

I am not sure if last point is really necessary but it worked for me after many hours of pain.

---

What I did was:

• remove all brew installations & packages, all ruby versions & gems
• setup rosetta Iterm (finder -> apps, right click on iTerm, Duplicate and Rename to Rosetta iTerm, right click -> Get Info, In General, check the Open using Rosetta check-box.)

Key is to install brew, ruby & everything in rosetta terminal.

Command arch must return i386 if you setup rosetta terminal correctly.

Then installation is normal:

brew install [email protected]

After this step brew will tell you what exports you need. Copy paste them in terminal or therubyracer installation will fail.
It looks something like this:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"

Rest is easy.

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])

[bradical]

Hi @VishalAher0108, while I can't help you directly with that problem since we never got therubyracer to build properly, I can say that swapping in mini_racer which is maintained was relatively painless.

[MattBudz]

I was able to get a successful installation on an M1 macbook running macOS 12.5 by adding the following to my Gemfile:

gem 'libv8-node', '16.10.0.0'
gem 'mini_racer'

Without the libv8-node gem in the gemfile, libv8-node was just being added as a dependency of mini_racer and always pulling the x86_64-darwin version for some reason. When adding the libv8-node gem into the gemfile explicitly, it pulled the correct arm64 version.

[VparkalauMY]

I have tried this out already and it didn't work on Apple SIlicon Laptop. I have also mentioned this in the logs already in the issue description.

did you resolve it? I have the same issue.

I was able to get this installed on my M1 MacBook Pro using arch -x86_64. I followed some steps on this blog to get two homebrews set-up. Once I had the alias of ibrew using the x86 arch, I was able to install the gem by doing the following:

ibrew tap homebrew/versions
ibrew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Should just need to put your version in instead. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately it did not work at M1 BigSur. But this solution works for intel platform and Catalina v10.15.7

Sorry I should have mentioned, this is working on my M1 MacBook on BigSur 11.2 using the steps I provided.

[KyleAsaff]

@lfrancarj let me know if you find a work around or a solution, I'm still stuck 😕

[VishalAher0108]

Hello

I search and referred to many links from Google but it didn't work for me. Still, I'm facing the same issue while installing therubyracer gem.

I'm using macOS Big Sur version: 11.3.1 (M1)
Ruby version = 2.4.1
Rails Version = 5.2.0

Whenever I install therubyracer gem, I'm getting the following error.

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

[atticusliu]

Has anyone figured out a solution to these issues?

[joedarc]

@professor if you go to the link I provided in my original answer you'll see why, the solution that worked for me required two installations of homebrew. The normal installation will be located at /opt/homebrew correct, but the Rosetta installed version will be at /usr/local.

[samsmata]

anyone having answer for rake commands are not working?.

[rodrigotoledo]

#312 (comment)
this works for me using rvm

[nonuabi]

I have tried this out already and it didn't work on Apple SIlicon Laptop. I have also mentioned this in the logs already in the issue description.

did you resolve it? I have the same issue.

@ VparkalauMY, Did you get any working solution for this issue? because I'm facing the same issue and I'm able to install v8 using ibrew, then installed rubyracer using this command.

gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

But new whenever starting the puma server this error occure.

It looks like you have a conflict related to ruby version. Also i think you can try to change the gems version .

[chrishough]

This issue is still open for both M1 and non-M1 machines. libv8 does not work

[bensaufley]

Related comment over on #318: #318 (comment)

[iamajvillalobos]

try out below.. did work for me

brew install [email protected] bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-system-v8 bundle config --local build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected] bundle install https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34613215/gem-therubyracer-does-not-install-even-if-libv8-is-installed

This work for me. I still don't think we have native m1 solution for this.

[lloeki]

I still don't think we have native m1 solution for this.

You're not going to, the first libv8 version that supports M1 is V8 9.something, and therubyracer is stuck at V8 3.x.

Switch to mini_racer if you can, and encourage projects to move to it if you have such transient dependencies.

[samsmata]

Yeah we are still having this issue.

@samsmata do you think this will be resolve anytime soon? Just wondering because if not im going to return the laptop. We have legacy code at my work and we are using ruby 2.3.6 and wont upgrade it, do you think this will be a problem on this specific ruby version? thank you for your response and I appreciate it.

[lloeki]

We have legacy code at my work and we are using ruby 2.3.6 and wont upgrade it

The first Ruby version that supports M1 is 2.7.1 (IIRC, maybe 2.7.2), so unless you're running it exclusively as aarch64-linux a VM or in Docker for Mac (which runs a VM) you're opening yourself to a world of hurt (that is, if things are even working).

You're not going to, the first libv8 version that supports M1 is V8 9.something, and therubyracer is stuck at V8 3.x.

Also, I reiterate this 👆

[lloeki]

That, or you install and run Ruby as Intel under Rosetta 2, but Rosetta 2 does have issues with libv8 due to its very dynamic nature.

[bensaufley]

Support for Ruby 2.3 ended in March of 2019; it's not safe to be using anymore.

[bradical]

What does the:

$ ibrew tap homebrew/core

do here?

[amitk]

What does the:

$ ibrew tap homebrew/core

do here?

While trying to install v8. I was getting error regading no formulae found from brew. To get that formula It was suggested to use ibrew tap homebrew/versions, but returned

Error: homebrew/versions was deprecated. This tap is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated.

And somewhere I read they have been migrated to core. Hence, I used that.

[TorvaldsDB]

I was able to get this installed on my M1 MacBook Pro using arch -x86_64. I followed some steps on this blog to get two homebrews set-up. Once I had the alias of ibrew using the x86 arch, I was able to install the gem by doing the following:

ibrew tap homebrew/versions
ibrew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Should just need to put your version in instead. Hope this helps.

Hey ya'll, I've dealt with every iteration of this problem possible while trying to install libv8 and therubyracer on my M1. The two prominent issues I've faced were GCC issues and dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found:... errors. Ultimately this is what I did after ton of digging into source code to successfully install my version of libv8 and therubyracer:

Quick disclaimer: My terminal emulator is not using Rosetta mode.

First you'll need to make sure you have a C/C++ compiler that v8 is compatible with. Libv8 recommends GCCv4.4 or higher, so I just opted to use clang++. This is what mine looks like:

$ clang++ -v
Apple clang version 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.3)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.5.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

Next, I just install [email protected] and the gems individually:

# install intel v8:
$ arch -x86_64 brew install [email protected]

# Build libv8 with the v8 engine that you just installed via brew:
$ gem install libv8 -v "3.16.14.19" -- --with-system-v8 

# Provide a compatible C++ compiler and specify path to the v8 directory you just brew installed:
$ CXX=clang++ gem install therubyracer -v "0.12.3" -- --with-v8-dir=$(arch -x86_64 brew --prefix [email protected])

This method uses a compatible C/C++ compiler which solves this issue, and having both libv8 and therubyracer build from the same v8 folder prevents symbol loading errors.

A. I'm using macOS Monterey version 12.5 (maybe the macOS latest version). And all 5 below solutions didn't work for me. Any other suggestion?

1. Install [email protected] by Homebrew. And then config therubyracer with [email protected]:

brew install [email protected]
bundle config --local build.libv8 --with-system-v8
bundle config --local build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
bundle install

2. Use multiple homebrew with this url: https://soffes.blog/homebrew-on-apple-silicon . And then use ibrew instead of brew to fix the issue.

ibrew tap homebrew/versions
ibrew install v8-315
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Notes:

ibrew tap homebrew/versions

is deprecated. And you could search v8 by this command:

ibrew search v8

3. Use gem mini_racer as an alternative way to replace therubyracer. I'm not sure by changing to another gem will generate other issues or not. However, install mini_racer didn't work with my current macOS although I tried with multiple versions of mini_racer gem.

4. Use duplicate terminal, Rosetta. It didn't work for me.

5. Use clang++ and brew to install therubyracer. And it didn't work as well.

$ clang++ -v
// install intel v8:
$ arch -x86_64 brew install [email protected]
// Build libv8 with the v8 engine that you just installed via brew:
$ gem install libv8 -v "3.16.14.19" -- --with-system-v8
// Provide a compatible C++ compiler and specify path to the v8 directory you just brew installed:
$ CXX=clang++ gem install therubyracer -v "0.12.3" -- --with-v8-dir=$(arch -x86_64 brew --prefix [email protected])

Thanks @marko-avlijas. What is the result of this? Is this effectively installing homebrew and running everything over x86? What do you do for apps/packages that you actually want to install via homebrew but using arm?

[marko-avlijas]

Yes. Without this I was getting errors like symbol not found in flat namespace when running rails server. I have seen online that you can setup 2 brews, one for arm and other for x86_64, but that didn't work for me out of the box. IMO it's not worth it to compile anything using arm if that means I am going to have problems.

[memlirestelica]

@marko-avlijas Thanks for this extra information

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/something"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/something"

These two flags are very IMPORTANT

did it work on your end?

Yes it did.

Make sure to replace something with your real path. Also read the error message where gem said it was

Setup a new terminal running on rosetta 2

Here is how to: link

1. Install brew on rosetta 2 terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install rbenv on rosetta 2

brew install rbenv

3. Install ruby on rosetta 2 terminal - CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS='--with-readline-dir=/usr/local/opt/readline/' rbenv install 2.7.0

(takes a while)

4. Install libraries and add flags

brew install [email protected]

Brew tells you to do these

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/something"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/something"

Last step:

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])

[marko-avlijas]

@dojutsu-user I successfully installed libv8/therubyracer on M1 Macbook Pro today at work.

TL/DR

• you did not export compiler flags like brew told you after you installed v8
• you are mixing and matching arm and x86_64 architecture. Compile everything (brew, ruby..) using rosetta terminal.

I am not sure if last point is really necessary but it worked for me after many hours of pain.

What I did was:

• remove all brew installations & packages, all ruby versions & gems
• setup rosetta Iterm (finder -> apps, right click on iTerm, Duplicate and Rename to Rosetta iTerm, right click -> Get Info, In General, check the Open using Rosetta check-box.)

Key is to install brew, ruby & everything in rosetta terminal.

Command arch must return i386 if you setup rosetta terminal correctly.

Then installation is normal:

brew install [email protected]

After this step brew will tell you what exports you need. Copy paste them in terminal or therubyracer installation will fail. It looks something like this:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/something"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/something"

Rest is easy.

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])

Can confirm this worked for me (M1 Monterey 12.5.1 with ruby v 2.3.3) after days of troubleshooting. Other guides have mentioned to install things normally on arm64 and then install libv8 and therubyracer on i386 (rosetta terminal) but this caused problems. Installing everything solely on i386 works great.

If you do a fresh install for i386, make sure you really clean out all of the old paths from the arm64 installations and use the new paths from the i386 install. You don't want to be mixing paths from different brew installs.

[marko-avlijas]

@Drewberrysteph
I suspect you didn't do exports correctly.

What is output of each of these commands?

echo $LDFLAGS
echo $CPPFLAGS
history | grep export

[marko-avlijas]

Compiler didnt find v8. You didn't export correctly.

I was able to get a successful installation on an M1 macbook running macOS 12.5 by adding the following to my Gemfile:

gem 'libv8-node', '16.10.0.0'
gem 'mini_racer'

Without the libv8-node gem in the gemfile, libv8-node was just being added as a dependency of mini_racer and always pulling the x86_64-darwin version for some reason. When adding the libv8-node gem into the gemfile explicitly, it pulled the correct arm64 version.

Thanks a lot. It work for me.

Re 3.16.14.19: read this, move to mini_racer.

@monfresh thanks for the article, I'm sure it helped people! That said you should not rely on v8 under Rosetta 2, v8 does wonky stuff with its JIT that trips it up on odd corner cases (not even counting that downgrading your whole stack to x86_64 is suboptimal and comes with its won set of complexities).

We cannot stress enough moving to mini_racer + libv8-node, which supports Apple Silicon.

Closing.
