Problem

I have added the gem 'sunspot_rails' in my gem file and ran bundle install. I have been getting errors in installing libv8 and the error message is as follows: ``` Installing libv8 (3.3.10.4) with native extensions Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /opt/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.3.10.4'` succeeds before bundling. ``` When I run gem install libv8 -v '3.3.10.4', the following error message is printed: ``` Building native extensions.
