ExecJS::RuntimeError Rails 3.1 Ubuntu

Ruby on Rails 3.1rc5, Ruby 1.9.2, Kubuntu 11.04

Error compiling asset application.js:
ExecJS::RuntimeError: (in ../app/assets/javascripts/sections.js.coffee)
Served asset /application.js - 500 Internal Server Error

This error is due to Ubuntu not having a javascript runtime installed

The solution is

sudo aptitude install nodejs

Or add 

gem 'therubyracer', '>=0.8.2'

to the Gemfile for the rails project and Run

bundle install

Solved for me

 

I also had this problem, and it was solved installing nodejs, but I used apt-get instead of aptitude:

sudo apt-get install nodejs

  This was for Ruby on

 

This was for Ruby on linux, but it looks like you've got a windows install going there.

Do you have a more detailed log?
