[SOLVED] Need help installing v8js PHP extension

wh33t · 07-28-2015, 04:42 PM

I tried this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...v8js-on-ubuntu

But it tells me libv8-dbg isn't available. How do I get this installed if it's not available in the repos?

For Ubuntu 14.04, the package name is apparently "libv8-3.14-dbg".

Reference:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all

How did you come across that page? I google'd for hours looking for how to install this thing.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Now I'm getting this

There doesn't seem to be that version available according to that search page you linked. Do you have any idea what I should do?

Sorry, I don't know. I've used PHP a lot, but never used v8js.

I downloaded the 32bit 12.04 LTS, installed in VMware. Installed Tasksel, installed Lamp stack, installed v8js, installed pecl by installing php-pear, run the pecl install command, rant the test script. It all went off without a hitch.

This experience has seriously got me questioning holding off on upgrading to the latest LTS every time they come out. Thanks for help.
