Hi guys, I'm trying to install the PECL v8js extension on my CentOS server running WordPress. But it depends on a more recent version of v8 than is available via yum.
What's the best way to get to the current version? Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks a million!

Re: Installing a current version of Google V8
"Available via yum" depends on which repositories you have installed. There seems to be 3.14.5.10 in EPEL, is that not enough? Have you tried using the EPEL version?

nope the EPEL version is too old. the current version is 4.7
I tried compiling it myself but gclient is failing too.
Was hoping someone had had the same problems?

Re: Installing a current version of Google V8
ok this is a minor nightmare, have to get newer versions of git, python, and gcc to be able to build v8 on CentOS

The first two you can probably find in the IUS Community repo.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

turns out Red Hat has a repo with newer dev tools which you can install parallel to the existing ones:
