[Gsll-devel] Compilation error in fsbv/libffi-unix.c

[Sumant Oemrawsingh]

Hi,

Run pkg-config --cflags libffi and behold that ffi.h is probably in some
non-standard location like /usr/lib64/libffi-3.0.8/include. You can either
edit the source libffi-unix.lisp or symlink to a standard location like
/usr/include.

As I understand, this is a problem due to upstream, not with your distro.

Hope it helps,
Sumant
