Hi,

"d.henman" <dhenman <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> checking for LIBFFI... configure: error: Package requirements (libffi) were not met:

[...]

The configure script checks for libffi via the pkg-config tool.

What does ‘pkg-config libffi --cflags --libs’ return on your machine?

If it shows an error, this means that either the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable does not contain the directory where libffi.pc is,
or that the file libffi.pc is missing from your libffi installation.

HTH,
Ludo’.
