When I try to load rails server, I get this error:

I have searched this question a lot, and every answer on stackoverflow I spy says "install nodejs", which I have done, and this hasn't fixed anything for me.
jared@machine:~$ nodejs -v
v0.10.29
jared@machine:~$ node -v
v4.4.4
jared@machine:~$ npm --version
2.15.1
jared@machine:~$ echo $PATH
/home/jared/.rvm/gems/ruby-head/bin:/home/jared/.rvm/gems/ruby-head@global/bin:/home/jared/.rvm/rubies/ruby-head/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/jared/.rvm/bin:/home/jared/.rvm/bin:/home/jared/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/nodejs/bin
I have also added therubyracer gem to my gemfile. I bundle installed. At the end of my rope here, because, well, honestly the only advice I have seen from anyone regarding this problem is install nodejs, and usually the thread is marked as solved based on this, no further things I could try.
Running rails 4.2.5.1 on debian 8 (jessie) 64-bit, using rvm, ruby 2.4.0 installed.
EDIT: Since no one seems to want to take a crack at this, here is some more info from a rails dev I know who was also unable to troubleshoot the problem:
Adding
$stderr.puts e.inspect
Right above line 80 yields:
#<TypeError: wrong argument type Class (expected Module)>
And doing a search for uglifier to see if a class is being referenced somewhere in the project where it shouldn't be results in:
jared@machine:~/thirteenthagecharbuilder$ grep -r uglifier /home/jared/thirteenthagecharbuilder/
/home/jared/thirteenthagecharbuilder/Gemfile.lock: uglifier (3.0.0)
/home/jared/thirteenthagecharbuilder/Gemfile.lock: uglifier (>= 2.7.1)
/home/jared/thirteenthagecharbuilder/Gemfile:gem 'uglifier', '>= 2.7.1'
/home/jared/thirteenthagecharbuilder/config/environments/production.rb: config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier
And lastly (for now), Line 7 of config/application.rb says
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)
So, I nuked ruby, long story short. I use rvm, so removing it was pretty easy, and I hadn't gotten much work done on the project anyway. So rvm and associated gems gone. I re-installed rvm, but this time used the option to install rails as well:
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
This got me up and running. So I guess my best advice is to use the rails flag when using rvm.
