UbuntuでRails3のexecjsが例外を投げたら

Ubuntu Rails3 Ruby

どんなエラー？

こんな具合に例外を投げます。

$ ./script/rails server

どう対処するの？

エラーメッセージにある https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs を見れば、8つある"ExecJS supports these runtimes"のどれかを入れれば良いらしい。最初、therubyracerを入れたがダメだった。

それで、Node.jsを入れてあげる。

$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

これで平和に動きます。
