Where do I get the FFI package? I googled but didn't find anything proper...

I tried cells-gtk-2006-02-16.tgz and cells-gtk-2006-01-03.tgz, both of
which give the FFI package error. Does FFI have to be added in
separately?

[1]> (lisp-implementation-version)
"2.38 (2006-01-24) (built 3359570456) (memory 3359570552)"

I'll try that, but I'd like to solve the problem with clisp. I won't
be comfortable otherwise :)

PS: This seems to be a development mailing list, which I think is not
the right place for questions about installation... Is there another
mailing list appropriate for such issues?
