New issue 1897 by [email protected]: V8 installation conflicts with SpiderMonkey
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1897

The g++ command that gmake generates when building node prioritizes the global include path over /src. This is extremely problematic when installing v8 on a system that already has SpiderMonkey installed, as SpiderMonkey globally installs several headers with the same names as those defined in /src. The v8 installer grabs those files instead of the v8 ones, and everything breaks: https://gist.github.com/1512978

I initially diagnosed this as a node error, and opened a ticket at https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2408; another user there came up with a minor tweak to the v8 Sconstruct file that fixes the problem, it merely needs to be implemented.
