You need to install whatever provides libplatform/libplatform.h. Given that Kali is Debian-derived, apparently, that’s probably nodejs-dev.

[image] Alavi1412: I have that. Well, no, you don’t, because if you did, the compiler wouldn’t be complaining about fatal error: libplatform/libplatform.h: No such file or directory [image] Alavi1412: I upgrade this by sudo apt-get upgrade nodejs-dev That’s not how you upgrade a single package. Perhaps Kali doesn’t ship with a new enough version of nodejs-dev; if so, you’ll need to raise that on a Kali Linux-related support channel to obtain guidance on how to resolve that issue.

Hmmm is this a 32 bit kali linux or a 64 bit one? Regardless try gem install libv8 if that does not work, raise an issue :arrow_forward: GitHub - rubyjs/libv8: Ruby gem binary distribution of the V8 JavaScript engine · GitHub

64bit kali. [image] sam: Regardless try gem install libv8 if that does not work, raise an issue :arrow_forward: GitHub - rubyjs/libv8: Ruby gem binary distribution of the V8 JavaScript engine · GitHub no it doesn’t work

Is there any way to add ibplatform/libplatform.h to my system manually to avoid this error?

That’ll only get you past that specific error; the linker will then fail because it’s almost certain the library isn’t installed, either. This is not a Discourse-specific problem, it’s an issue with your distro.

This resolved the issue for me in another distro.

I have that.
and I upgrade this by sudo apt-get upgrade nodejs-dev but the problem still exist.
