Stack consistency error when compiling assets on FreeBSD

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Rails app on a FreeBSD server. However, when I try to compile the assets, I get this weird error:

bundle exec rake assets:precompile
/home/user/site/shared/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/therubyracer-freebsd-0.10.1/lib/v8/portal.rb:16: [BUG] Stack consistency error (sp: 231, bp: 232)
ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-freebsd9.1]

The stacktrace goes far on. I can paste all of it, if it helps. After it, it says:

[NOTE]
You may have encountered a bug in the Ruby interpreter or extension libraries.
Bug reports are welcome.

Did I really find a Ruby bug? I hardly think so. The assets are compiled successfully on Ubuntu. I googled about it (a lot) and didn't find anything.

I think it may be something with the therubyracer gem. I'm using the therubyracer-freebsd gem, but I've already tried both, the error doesn't go away.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Looks like an issue in therubyracer. You can install node.js and remove this gem from your Gemfile.

Follow this: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager#freebsd-and-openbsd

Answer 2

Mostly therubyracer gem issue. Try bundle update therubyracer, if you are using bundler, which shall update any dependency issue. Worked for me.
