When I ran the `bundle install` I got the following error:

```plaintext

An error occurred while installing mini_racer (0.1.9), and Bundler
cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mini_racer -v '0.1.9'` succeeds before bundling.

```

and when I use `gem install mini_racer -v '0.1.9'` to install the gem I got the following error:

```plaintext

```

and [this](https://gist.github.com/Alavi1412/b36f82f6d5557c0a8748b7ed0553e3d7) is the mkmf.log file.  
how should I solve this probelm?  
can I download this gem manually to avoid this error?
