Subject: libffi not found even if installed in default path
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:13:52 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <33218407.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)
I got the following message from `./configure`:
checking for LIBFFI... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libffi) were not met:
No package 'libffi' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
I then (just in case) installed the latest libffi by hand. Its README
indicates that:
Libffi will install under /usr/local by default.
Indeed:
$ find /usr -name 'libffi.*'
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libffi.5.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libffi.a
/usr/local/lib/libffi.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libffi.la
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc
/usr/local/share/info/libffi.info
However, it did not help, and the `./configure` still fails with the very
same error message.
What information can I give you to help me? What should I do to make it
work?
