Thanks @Stanislav for trying to help me.

I exactly did this at last,

Uninstalled all libv8 related gems using "gem uninstall libv8 -a -x" and then removed the Gemfile.lock using "rm -rf Gemfile.lock" and tried "bundle install" it worked!!!!

Try to

gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.0' -- --with-v8-dir=/path/to/v8

But before you should have v8 installed on your system
