Error installing libv8: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

I made a rails project with,

rails new test_bootstrap.

succeeded.

moved to the project dir and added the gems

gem "therubyracer"
gem "less-rails" #Sprockets (what Rails 3.1 uses for its asset pipeline) supports LESS
gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails"

and run

bundle install

after that, i have this error.

An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.3), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3'` succeeds before bundling.

sorry for some Koreans. It says, It can’t find the chosen path or something like that.

and i tried to run this command

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3' 

throwing the same error.
